Brumbies centre Christian Lealiifano kicked a controversial penalty after the final hooter to snatch a 23-20 win over the Bulls in Canberra on last night.

A gallant fight back in the second half by the Bulls saw the South Africans level the scores 20-20 after trailing 14-3 at halftime and 20-13 after the break with two minutes remaining.

Lealiifano’s three-pointer then broke Bulls hearts, while sending the Canberra crowd into raptures.

Meanwhile, in other matches played last night Chiefs beat the Blues 23-16, Stormers were beaten by the Crusaders 19-14 while the Cheetahs beat the Rebels 34-16.

The Waratahs will take on the Western Force at 5.05pm today.
