TJ Perenara isn't expecting the Brumbies to apply the brakes

Hurricanes halfback TJ Perenara does not expect the Brumbies to try to curtail his side's attacking brilliance by slowing the tempo of their Super Rugby quarter‑final tonight.

With the high‑scoring Hurricanes hunting their first win in Canberra since 2010 to progress to a semifinal, the Brumbies could try to force the visitors into a tough contest tonight.

But the Hurricanes' star No. 9 isn't expecting the Brumbies to apply the brakes.

Beauden Barrett rejoins Perenara in the halves after missing last week's win over the Crusaders which denied the Christchurch team an unbeaten season.

They form a backline boasting Ngani Laumape and Jordie Barrett in the centres, wings Julian Savea and Wes Goosen and fullback Nehe Milner‑Skudder.

The Hurricanes will take on the Brumbies at 9.35 tonight.

In other quarterfinals, the Crusaders will host the Highlanders at 7.35pm tomorrow, the Lions will take on the Sharks at 12.30am Sunday while the Stormers will host the Chiefs at 3am Sunday.
