  • CONVERSION, BRUMBIES. We have a new kicker stepping up to convert Mogg's try from bang in front as Coleman sends the ball between the sticks. That's the final nail in the Reds' coffin, as the Brumbies celebrate a well-earned opening round victory!

    80
  • TRY, BRUMBIES. The Reds looking for a consolation score, but they won't get it as Mogg intercepts Cooper's pass and races in for his second try of the match!

    79
  • Moore makes his way off the pitch - he's had an average game for his standards. So Siliva Siliva will get two minutes of game-time under his belt.

    78
  • PENALTY, BRUMBIES. The hosts have a chance to seal the deal with five minutes of the match remaining, after their Australian rivals give away another penalty. This it's White who gets thrown the kicking tee... over it goes! That could very well be game, set and match folks. 17-6!

    75
  • Mogg stabs a grubber kick through, gives chase but trips. Cooper gathers inside his 22, and runs it back. He feeds Frisby who took the pass at pace, but is hit hard in the tackle and gets stopped in his tracks - the Brumbies defence has been rock-solid.

    72
  • Another change for the Brumbies - Pocock makes way for Colby Faingaa.

    70
  • Mogg is let off the hook though, as the Reds have been penalised for offsides. So the full-back will look to extend his team's eight-point lead with a penalty from 17m out. Dear, oh dear - he's made a big mess of that as the ball sails wide!

    69
  • Big run down the touchline from Peter Kimlin. The ball is shifted to the left, where the Brumbies have an overlap, but Mogg can't the pass! Oh dear, that was a certain try...

    67
  • The Brumbies making a change in their backs - it's Rathbone off, and on comes Robbie Coleman. The former Wallabies winger leaves the field to a standing ovation.

    64
  • Nic White goes on the short side and links up with henry Speight who pops the ball back inside to Ben Mowen. Now it's David Pocock who takes the ball up five more metres, before he hits the deck. Matt Toomua decides to drop ball to boot and kicks for territory, but Digby Ioane has it covered.

    63
  • So the Reds need to be the next to score if they are to have any hope of winning this tight affair. They haven't entered the Brumbies' 22 once after the break, so need to click into a higher gear.

    60
  • PENALTY, BRUMBIES. Mogg is instructed by his skipper to have another go at goal. And once again, the flags go up! Why wasn't this guy kicking from the start? 14-6!

    58
  • Jake Schatz breaks off the back of the scrum but gets wrapped up. The Brumbies forwards try to force the turnover, and win a penalty instead - Schatz pinged for not releasing.

    55
  • It's been a scrappy affair, with both sides guilty of several handling errors as Moore puts down another one after taking contact. So we'll have another scrum... lets hope this game opens up a wee bit before the crowd falls asleep!

    53
  • PENALTY, BRUMBIES. So who's going to take the kick? It's Mogg. And the full-back makes no mistake! 11-6!

    50
  • The resulting scrum from White's knock-on ends with a penalty to the Brumbies - the Reds front-row engaged too early.

    49
  • Now the Brumbies build some momentum. But after six phases, White knocks on at the base of the ruck.

    46
  • The Reds are up to the task though, and Adam Wallace-Harrison steals the ball in the air - good work by the lock. Ben Tapuai is at pivot, and clears. Not much distance on that kick, so the Reds aren't out of the woods yet.

    44
  • The Brumbies look to pile on the early pressure after Mogg puts his forwards into a good attacking position 8m out from the Reds' line thanks to a magnificent touch finder.

    42
  • Welcome back folks! The two teams have made their way back to the field for the start of the second half...
