Halfback Nic White declared the ACT Brumbies would "throw the kitchen sink" at the Chiefs when they fly the flag for Australia in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific semi-finals.

The Brumbies denied a clean sweep from New Zealand teams with a pulsating 37-33 quarter-final victory over the Wellington Hurricanes in Canberra on Saturday night.

The dramatic result, culminating in Hurricanes skipper Ardie Savea's desperate dive over the line ruled a no-try, earned the Brumbies a daunting trip to Hamilton to face the formidable Chiefs.

The Brumbies are aiming to end a nine-year title drought for Australian teams in the competition.

The halfback says they are going to get over there and throw the kitchen sink at them.

The top-qualifying Chiefs, had to work hard in their quarter-final against the Queensland Reds in Hamilton, only pulling clear in the dying minutes to win 29-20.

Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan believes it will serve them better than a one-sided victory.

McMillan says for a whole number of reasons, being put under pressure will be really good for them in the long run.

The Chiefs face the Brumbies at 7.05pm Saturday.
