The Brumbies aim for a home semifinal after beating the Western Force and face tough upcoming matches.
The Brumbies are in the box seat for a home Super Rugby semifinal, but it will come down to the remaining two regular-season games.
The 33-14 victory over the Western Force was a grinding affair, but it will hold the Brumbies in good stead ahead of home games against Queensland and the Crusaders.
The Brumbies have moved to second on the ladder but have played one game more than the third-placed Crusaders and the fourth-placed Reds.
