On the eve of Eddie Jones’ first Wallabies squad announcement, the Tahs started brightest, scoring through Dylan Pietsch and Dave Porecki before Len Ikitau crossed in his return for the Brumbies.
A chaotic end to the half saw the Tahs score through Jed Holloway despite being reduced to 13 men as Harry Johnson-Holmes and Daniel Botha were binned for repeated infringements defending the line before James Slipper powered over, leaving the visitors 21-14 up at the break.
The Brumbies thought they’d drawn level minutes into the second half, but a forward pass denied them a try before Lalakai Foketi finished off a stunning end-to-end try off the resulting scrum to stretch the lead for Darren Coleman’s side.
Slipper completed a rare try double minutes later before Mark Nawaqanitawase’s wonderful chip and chase score once again kept the Canberra-based side at bay. But scores from Pete Samu and Lachie Lonergan on either side of Michael Hooper’s yellow card gave Stephen Larkham’s side a 35-33 lead with ten to play.
Ben Donaldson regained the lead for the Waratahs before Toole’s well-worked winner secured the 11th straight win for the Brumbies over their Aussie rivals.
