Former Wallabies captain David Pocock scored a hat‑trick of tries as the Brumbies thumped the Highlanders 31‑18 last night.

The Brumbies bonus point victory is their first victory in three matches as they lost to the Blues and Rebels in their last two matches.

The loss for the Highlanders ends a three match winning run for the Dunedin side.

Meanwhile, a commanding display has seen the Chiefs storm past the Force 35-27 in an entertaining Anzac weekend encounter at Waikato Stadium.

On a weekend where New Zealanders and Australians remember the fallen, the Chiefs fought back after conceding an early try to storm back and punish the Western Australian outfit.

With the emotion of the Anzac commemorations pre match, the Chiefs showed their intent with ball in hand as they constructed some well worked play upfield allowing first five Marty McKenzie to nail the opening penalty.

The Crusaders will take on the Blues at 7.35 tonight while the Waratahs will face the Rebels at 9.40pm.
