Brumbies steal victory over the Queensland Reds

At long last Super Rugby AU has come alive, with the Brumbies stealing victory over the Queensland Reds with the last kick of the game to win 22-20 in Canberra.

The Reds appeared to have sealed the deal, but kicked the ball away with less than a minute remaining to allow the Brumbies one last chance.

It was a heartbreaking result for the Reds, who had earlier overturned a 14-nil deficit to score 20 unanswered points to move ahead after 50 minutes.

But a missed penalty attempt from James O'Connor came back to bite the Reds midway through the second half.

Meanwhile, the Crusaders have one hand on the Super Rugby Aotearoa title after a 32-19 win in Hamilton.

The three-time defending Super Rugby champs marched to a bonus-point win in a five-tries-to-one victory that now puts them seven points clear of the Blues with two games to play.
