Brumbies head coach Stephen Larkham says his team should be in the Super Rugby Semi‑finals instead of the Highlanders and blamed the match officials and their decisions for his team's exit.
Larkham says that they deserved the win and placed the blame on the match officials of referee Angus Gardner and TMO George Ayoub who are both Australian.
The Brumbies were beaten 15-9 by reigning Super Rugby champions the Highlanders and although they were outscored two tries to one in the match Larkham was unable to hide his frustration.
He says the boys did everything right and they made a couple of mistakes but they got to the point where they deserved to win that game.
The Highlanders victory was their first in Canberra for ten years.
In other quarter finals, the Hurricanes battle the Sharks at 7.35 tonight.
Meanwhile the Lions will face the Crusaders at 2.30am tomorrow while the Stormers go head to head with the Chiefs at 5.05am.
