ACT Brumbies made a huge statement for Australian rugby by outfighting New Zealand powerhouse the Auckland Blues 25-20 in a bruising battle on Sunday, the highlight of the second round of the Super Rugby Pacific season.
While the Brumbies rode their set piece superiority to a penalty try and a score from winger Andy Muirhead in the first half, the Blues kept up the pace with a try from hooker Ricky Riccitelli and a runaway effort from flanker Tom Robinson.
All six matches over the "Super Round" weekend were played at the same venue but one-sided contests detracted from the spectacle as Canterbury Crusaders, Waikato Chiefs, Waratahs and Queensland Reds all racked up big wins. The Reds also had a quick start in the final match of the round on Sunday with fullback Jordan Petaia crossing for the first of his two tries after 30 seconds as the Queenslanders pummeled Western Force 71-20.
The reigning champion Crusaders opened the weekend with a 52-15 battering of their South Island neighbours the Otago Highlanders to get back to winning ways after their week one loss to the Chiefs.
