Moana Pasifika defeated the Brumbies 32-22 last night to claim their second win of the 2022 Super Rugby Pacific season.

The competition newcomers overcame the early dismissal of inspirational captain Sekope Kepu to beat the Australian powerhouse.

Moana Pasifika scored three tries from Lotu Inisi, Joe Apikotoa and William Havili. A penalty try was also awarded to Moana Pasifika.



Meanwhile, the Western Force have kept their Super Rugby Pacific finals hopes alive with a dramatic 27-22 win over the Hurricanes.

A 74th-minute try to centre Byron Ralston and the successful conversion proved decisive after the Force trailed 22-20.

The win has placed the Force in the 8th spot in the points table and they can lose that spot if the Highlanders beat the Melbourne Rebels this afternoon.

In another Super Rugby Pacific result, the Blues edged the Waratahs 20-17.

The Rebels will take on the Highlanders at 4pm today.
