text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A last-gasp Highlanders try has inflicted a heartbreaking 23-22 loss on the Brumbies in Canberra.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">In a marathon effort that took the match well past the 80-minute mark, the Highlanders had three consecutive penalties that gave them the chance to steal the win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A Folau Fainga&#8217;a hat-trick looked to have sealed the game for the Brumbies, who held a six-point lead in the final 13 minutes,but they were taught a lesson in game management in the final 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Attempting to keep the ball in hand and run down the clock rather than look to clear, the Brumbies turned the ball over and a Highlanders penalty opened the door for the win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A breakdown penalty with 13 seconds to go gave the Kiwis a sniff and they immediately went for the corner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Though they couldn&#8217;t reap the rewards from the first attempt, they were given a second chance from another penalty in the 82nd minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">It looked as though the game was over after an off-target kick in attack but the Highlanders were playing advantage and instead, Murray Douglas was yellow-carded and the Kiwis had another chance to snatch it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">It was third time lucky for the Kiwis with Teariki Ben-Nicholas crashing over in the 84th minute and Josh Ioane coolly slotting the conversion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The loss is the Brumbies&#8217; first of 2020 and their first loss in Canberra in 10 matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Though rain that had plagued Canberra for much of Saturday had initially cleared ahead of Saturday night\u2019s clash, the Highlanders showed the hosts how to deal with a heavy track for much of the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The Highlanders were happy to let the Brumbies make mistakes for them to pounce on and that they did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A try off a charged down Noah Lolesio kick was the most obvious of these but the Kiwis were able to simply hold onto the ball more than the hosts<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The Brumbies relied heavily on their faithful set piece, winning 16 of 16 lineouts, and Fainga\u2019a&#8217;s finishing gave them pay for their faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Rookie flyhalf Lolesio had the toughest game of his fledgling Super Rugby career against a polished halves combination of Aaron Smith and Mitch Hunt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Lolesio was in unfamiliar territory after the late withdrawal of centre Irae Simone (illness) and youngster Len Ikitau wasn\u2019t able to replicate Simone\u2019s strong form against a bruising HIghlanders side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Highlanders back Josh Ioane had the first opportunity for points with a penalty in the fourth minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The Kiwis tried pressure on at set piece ime but it was through their set piece that Folau Fainga\u2019a had the first score of the game off their faithful rolling maul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Fainga\u2019a made it a double just before the half hour mark, again through a rolling maul ans the Brumbies began to flex their muscle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Lolesio had a moment to forget when Highlanders winger Jona Nareki charged down his clearing kick and\u00a0\u00a0fell over the line to narrow the gap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The Kiwis had no hesitation in taking a shot at the posts just before half-time with superboot Josh Ioane putting them in front just shy of the break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">It was the Highlanders who got on the board first in the second half, with Ioane booting another penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A high tackle from Highlanders winger Sio Tomkinson on Brumbies fullbackTom Banks gave the hosts a one-man advantage midway through the second half but sparked some controversy in the public sphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Tomkinson collected Banks high, appearing to make contact with his shoulder to the head but the TMO deemed there was no clear evidence of contact to Banks\u2019 head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">On-field referee Nic Berry said he felt the contact was \u201cshoulder to shoulder\u201d and just a yellow card offence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The Brumbies couldn\u2019t yield any points from their 10-minute advantage and Ioane\u2019s second-half penalty remained the main difference between the sides as the half ticked down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Scores looked increasingly difficult to come by as the rain began to fall but Fainga\u2019a managed to nab his third in the 67th minute to steal back the lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A Ryan Lonergan penalty stretched the lead to six points and put the pressure all on the Highlanders in the final minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Highly-lauded Queensland prospect Reesjan Pasitoa played the final eight minutes for the Brumbies, replacing Ikitau at inside centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Halfback Ryan Lonergan impressed coming on for Joe Powell and showed composure with the boot, slotting two-from-two in pelting rain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">With 90 seconds to go, the Brumbies simply needed to hold possession to seal the win but ill-discipline unwound them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The Brumbies head to New Zealand to face the undefeated Chiefs next weekend while the Highlanders play the Crusaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;
