Tegola sui Brumbies: Christian Lealiifano ha già concluso la sua stagione. L’apertura ha rimediato un grave infortunio alla caviglia durante la partita contro i Waratahs e vinta proprio dai Brumbies 23 a 6 e nella quale lo stesso Lealiifano ha segnato tre calci piazzati e convertito due mete.
I tempi di recupero non si conoscono ancora, ma sono comunque molto lunghi. Per i Brumbies è il secondo numero 10 che si infortuna gravemente, a marzo era toccato a Matt Toomua, che si è lesionato i legamenti.

Gli Sharks vincono la sfida con i neozelandesi con 28 punti su 28 marcati dalla loro apertura
