Brumbies legend says team tapered for Super finals push

Brumbies legend says team tapered for Super finals push

Winner of two Super Rugby titles, Joe Roff feels the Brumbies have got their preparations right this season after falling short in recent years.

The ACT franchise faces the table-topping Chiefs in Hamilton tonight, with the winner advancing to the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific grand final.

Roff was part of the title-winning Brumbies sides in 2000 and 2004, which was the club's last trophy, but the Wallabies legend says former teammate and coach Stephen Larkham has the team primed to perform.

The Brumbies have made the last four semi-finals but haven't been able to make the decider.

Roff says he has spoken with Larkham and he has unfinished business here.

He says Larkham has coached his team to be primed at the right time of the season.

Roff adds that he is looking forward to a big performance tonight.

No Australian team has won a Super play-off in New Zealand with a 0-20 record, but Roff said that statistic shouldn't bother the Brumbies.

The Brumbies will take on the Chiefs in the second semi final at 7.05 tonight.

Meanwhile, the Crusaders have confirmed their spot in the final after edging the Blues 21-14 last night.
