Adventurous Cheetahs score two tries to nil but still come up short in quarter-final.
The Brumbies and Cheetahs head out of Canberra to South Africa today with the hosts the only side who will unfurl their playing gear again.
It was a case of five penalties holding out two tries from the Cheetahs, including a final minute touchdown before Riaan Smit's touchline conversion attempt hit the post and bounced away.
The dramatic conclusion ended an awkward spectacle, 15-13 in the Brumbies favour. The Cheetahs have been the most adventurous of the South African sides and they showed that in patches yesterday.
The Brumbies have been the most disciplined of the Australian teams and they maintained that steadfast approach to earn a semifinal with the Bulls in Pretoria this weekend.
