Well that was emphatic, brilliant, superb, breathtaking, cockle warming, et al. Well done to the {insert crowd figure here} fans who turned up for an amazing game! Steve Moore was a clear man-of-the-match for an inspirational display.
80: And there's the siren! Brumbies win 52-10.
Will the Brumbies leading seven tries to one, do they get two bonus points under the new system given they've scored six more tries? If not, why not! Now that would encourage attacking rugby - for every three tries you score more than your opponent you get a bonus point...
77: Pocock gets a standing ovation as he heads to the sin bin for another offence at the breakdown...but the Brumbies scored two tries the last time they were down to 14 men. Is there time for two more?
76: That sums up a dirty night for the Canes - a knock on from Brad Shields with an overlap opening up a tight path to the try line...
Back to topI've got a feeling the Brumbies' odds to win the title this year might shorten after tonight...
68: It's raining tries hee at Canberra Stadium now. Both Brumbies hookers have shown enough to pace for an audition to play wing. Mann-Rea was away this time and it ends up with Sam Carter to dive over. Lealiifano yep. Brumbies 52-10.
66: They should change the name of the Brumbies' rolling maul to "shelling peas", coz that's how easy it is. Josh Mann-Rea scores off the back of it and Lealiifano converts. Brumbies 45-10.
63: And no sooner is he off and the Brumbies are down to 14-men. Toomua goes to the bin for 10 minutes, this makes it interesting...
62: Massive noise as Moore comes from the ground in his 150th Super Rugby match. He's been absolutely brilliant! Scored a try, set up another and got the Brumbies going after a lackadaisical start. A true leader...
Back to top57: Scott Fardy continues his audition to shift from the forwards to the backs, the bearded warrior unleashes his kicking again - just like he did in last year's World Cup. Is there anything the lumberjack of world rugby can't do...
51: Vaea off for Jarrad Butler. Roar from the crowd as the Brums kick o the corner. Rolling maul time and it pays off straight away. Moore shows some pace off the back to charge over for a try in his 150th Super Rugby game. Lealiifano tick. Brumbies 38-10.
48: Has the beast awoken? Milner-Skudder gathers a Toomua kick and he's away, dishes inside to Ngani Laumage who scores in the corner after a spirited chase from Tomane, who sprinted off the opposite wing to try to make the tackle. Barrett converts. Brumbies 31-10.
Replay indicates maybe the men in charge shouldve gone to the video replay, but as a strong believer in letting the refs do the job so no complaints...
46: There's the Brumbies' rolling maul, they drive from near halfway and off the back of it Speight is away, geez the 7s program might have made him even quicker, and Fardy is there the press it down in the next phase. Lealiifano converts. Brumbies 31-3.
Back to top44: Brumbies lock Rory Arnold has gone off with what looked like a knee injury and JOrdan Smiler is into the pack...
Welcome back to Canberra Stadium where the Brumbies have restarted. The Brumbies have made two changes - both to their front row - with Ben Alexander and Allan Alaalatoa both off, replaced by Les Leuluaialii-Makin and Scott Sio coming on. That's a first Super Rugby cap for Leuluaialii-Makin...
40: And that's half-time at Canberra Stadium. The Brumbies getting clapped off after they were starting to produce some scintillating stuff as the clock ticked down. The promise of Brumbies running rugby has been upheld by the home side and they are looking good, very good...
38: Finally! We see the Brumbies go for the lineout and hopefully a rolling maul....but no! Moore goes short to Tongan powerhouse Ita Vaea, who goes back to Moore and he slips Pocock thru and the Brumbies are in bonus point territory. The new rules mean they have to score three more tries than the Canes to get one. Lealiifano back to knocking them over. Brumbies 24-3.
35: And the Tuxmock has worked already! Lealiifano misses a long range shot from just inside the Hurricanes' territory...still Brumbies 17-3.
