Don't write off the Brumbies in this year’s Super Rugby tournament.
That’s the warning to the other semifinalists from coach Dan McKellar after his side beat the Sharks 38-13 in their quarterfinal clash in Canberra on Saturday.
Outscoring their visitors by five tries to one, the Brumbies next face a trip to Argentina where they will cross swords with the in-form Jaguares in their final-four clash.
McKellar says: “It [the trip to Argentina] has its challenges but we love getting on the road.
“The boys just enjoy each other’s company and love being around each other.
“I’ve never seen a tighter group of footballers. There’s a special feeling and you don’t get that very often within a football team and when you do have it you’ve got to take advantage of it and cash in.”
