The Brumbies will play in the final against the Waikato Chiefs at Hamilton on Saturday night.

It will be the last stop in a journey that has taken them almost 30,000 kilometres, through four time zones and more hours in the air than at training.

But star hooker Stephen Moore said they knew they could win big games and would use a ''siege mentality'' to beat the Chiefs.

In the past two seasons, the Brumbies have lost just three of their eight games in South Africa or New Zealand. When the Brumbies beat the Sharks in March, they set a record for the longest winning streak away from home - seven victories in a row - in Super Rugby's 18 seasons.

''Everyone will say it can't be done because of the travel, and … it will take too much out of us,'' Moore said. ''But we'll have as good of a week as we can, recover well and put ourselves in a position to do well.

''Our sessions will be short and sharp … the technical side of things is done and now it's all about recovery and being mentally ready to believe we can win the game.''

Since their last regular-season game against the Western Force in Perth, the Brumbies have played in Canberra and Pretoria and now travel to Hamilton.

The Brumbies arrived back in Canberra on Monday evening after they beat the Pretoria Bulls 26-23 in South Africa on Sunday morning. They will spend Tuesday and Wednesday in the capital before flying to Sydney on Wednesday night and on to New Zealand on Thursday. It leaves them with minimal training time, but the Brumbies thrive on being on the road as a team and proving the doubters wrong.

''We just love each other's company … the travel is definitely tough but there's no excuses in that,'' lock Scott Fardy said.

The Brumbies' thrilling last-minute win against the Bulls defied all expectations as they fought from four points behind to steal victory with a Tevita Kuridrani try.

The determination to fight back was a reminder of how far the young Brumbies have come in the past two years under coach Jake White's tutelage.

At the start of the finals campaign, the Brumbies had just four players with play-off experience.

They now have 18 players who are undefeated after two play-off appearances.

Moore was part of the superstar Brumbies squad that failed to fire in 2010 and then hit rock bottom in 2011.

Despite having a team oozing talent - including Matt Giteau, Rocky Elsom, Mark Chisholm and Adam Ashley-Cooper - the Brumbies finished 13th.

''We've turned ourselves around over the last couple of years and now we get a chance to go for what we're really after,'' Moore said.

''I knew early on in the new regime that the team was going to do really well. Prior to that I think the place was a bit of a shambles and a bit directionless.

''We lost our identity of what the Brumbies were about and I think that's all be restored in the last couple of years … hard work has been the main driver of that.''

The semi-final win against the Bulls was also a significant milestone for Moore.

Despite playing Super Rugby since 2003 and having almost 80 Wallabies caps, he had never played in the finals until this year.
