Queensland Reds 38 ACT Brumbies 5
The Queensland Reds have shown why they're tipped to be among the frontrunners this Super Rugby season, thrashing the Brumbies 38-5 at Austar Stadium in Darwin.
Despite dominating much of Friday night's trial match, the Reds' supremacy didn't transfer to the scoreboard in the first or third quarters.
Both sides made a number of ill-disciplined errors throughout the game, but it was the Reds who stepped up to take control of the match and come away with their second win of the pre-season.

The Reds showed solid defence, preventing two early break-away tries by the Brumbies.
After missing most of the 2010 Super 14 season with a shoulder injury, Digby Ioane had a blinder of game both in defence and attack.
