The Brumbies and the Chiefs face off in the final of the Super XV this weekend and if it lives up to what went before then rugby fans are in for a treat.

It might be a Bank Holiday weekend, but it’s well worth setting your alarm for early on Saturday morning (well, 8am isn’t THAT early) to catch the clash between the Brumbies and the Chiefs in the Super XV final in Hamilton.

We’ve waxed lyrical about the lads from Fox Sports Down Under on numerous occasions in the recent past and to set the mood for the big one this weekend, they’ve cobbled together a five-minute highlight reel of the best moments from Super Rugby finals since the inauguration of the competition in 1996.

There are some memorable moments in there, from a George Smith-inspired Brumbies victory in 2004, the incredibly close all-South African encounter in 2007 and of course, Will Genia’s memorable individual try in Queensland Reds’ triumph over the Crusaders in 2011.

Can the Chiefs and the Brumbies live up to what’s gone before this weekend? We wouldn’t bet against it.
