BRUMBIES coach Stephen Larkham says his team are peaking at the right time and can upset the Chiefs in the Super Rugby semifinals.
The Canberra-based side travel to Hamilton for the bumper clash on Saturday with an unchanged squad for the first time this season, spearheaded by a slew of Wallabies including Allan Alaalatoa and James Slipper.
But they are battling the odds, having exited in the semi-finals to New Zealand clubs in the last three years, while the Chiefs are unbeaten against them in four games.

Larkham said he was optimistic they can make the final, which will be in Canberra if they beat the Chiefs and the Blues topple the Crusaders in the other last-four clash.
The former Wallabies pivot says: “The boys are peaking at the right time...
“We’ll make sure that we keep our emotions in check this week. The boys can get a lot of confidence out of the way that we’re playing.”
