Bombers were first to score in the second half to extend their lead to 29-17. Brumbies’ captain Gareth Burger bulldozed his way through Bombers defenders to score and give his side a glimmer of hope as they trailed 24-29, with 15 minutes left on the clock.

A constructive line-out maul, won by Brumbies, saw them drive the visitors back as Jason Potgieter scored a diving try. Brown converted for Brumbies to take the lead 31-29, with five minutes remaining.
