We can match the Highlanders, say BrumbiesMARK NOLAN/GETTY IMAGES Stephen Moore says the Brumbies weren't smart enough when they were beaten by the Highlanders earlier this season. The Brumbies are confident they're ready to match wits with defending Super Rugby champions the Highlanders in Friday night's quarterfinal in Canberra. "We've put a bit of focus into making sure our set-piece defence is good and ... our kicking game and how to nullify their kicking game." ANTHIONY AU-YEUNG/PHOTOSPORT Brumbies head coach Stephen Larkham is wary of the dangers posed by the Highlanders' playmakers. Brumbies co-captain Stephen Moore admits his team need to play more intelligently in both attack and defence than they did when beaten 23-10 win by the Highlanders in round 10 in Invercargill.
