Jona Nareki scored a try to help his Highlanders side defeat the Brumbies 23-22 in a very close encounter in the Super Rugby last night.
Nareki and Teariki Ben-Nicholas scored a try each while the rest of their points came from the boots of Josh Ioane.
Brumbies hooker, Folau Faingaa scored a hat-trick of rolling maul tries but it was not enough.
Highlanders winger Patelesio Tomkinson was extremely lucky to avoid a red card after making no attempt to wrap his arms as his shoulder made contact with Tom Banks' head in a tackle.
The win ended the Brumbies' 11-game winning run at home as the Highlanders made it five straight victories against the Brumbies.
In other Super Rugby results, the Chiefs thrashed the Sunwolves 43-17, the Stormers defeated the Lions 33-30.
The Jaguares will face the Reds at 9.40am today.
