Brumbies flyhalf Faitala Moleka has missed an after-the-siren penalty in her side's 29-29 Super W draw with the Western Force in Perth.
In a thrilling finish to Saturday's match, Force substitute Sammy Treherne scored a 79th-minute try to reduce the margin to two points, before an ice cool Nicole Ledington nailed the sideline conversion to level the scores.
The Force gave away a penalty moments after the restart, giving Moleka the chance to win the game in the 81st minute with a 36m penalty on a 40-degree angle.
Mokela hooked the kick badly to the left, with the miss ensuring for a share of the spoils.
The Force started the match as hot favourites after bolstering their squad during the off-season.
Wallaroos recruits Allana Sikimeti, Sera Naiqama, Ashley Marsters and Cecilia Smith were all named in the starting line-up, with Treherne adding impact from the bench.
"Pretty disappointed," Force coach Dylan Parsons said.
"We knew it was going to be on us to be able to control that game, and we just didn't do that for bigger periods of the match.
"The Brumbies probably deserved to win, so we've got out of jail a little bit there with the draw and still getting two competition points."
The Brumbies scored four tries to two in an entertaining first half to take a 26-17 lead into the break.
Meranie Paraone scored the opening try after just three minutes, but the Force hit back with two quick tries of their own.
A tackle-busting run by Force winger Brooklyn Teki Joyce set up Anneka Stephens for the home side's first.
And the Force led 14-7 in the 12th minute when outside centre Cecilia Smith got on the end of a series of slick passes.
A yellow card to Smith two minutes later changed the complexion of the match.
Brumbies winger Biola Dawa scored while the Force were down a player.
And when Brumbies flanker Chioma Enyi scored two tries in the space of three minutes approaching half-time, the visitors were in complete control.
The second half was a grind, and it wasn't until the final few minutes that things started really opening up, with Moleka's after-the-siren miss proving to be the critical moment.
