Foxsports has the happy news of the Brumbies hard fought win over the Wellington Hurricanes at home tonight:

Brumbies sharpshooter Christian Lealiifano has kicked six penalty goals from as many attempts to boot his side to a narrow 30-23 victory over the Hurricanes in Canberra.

The Brumbies looked to have the match sewn up after a try to blindside flanker Peter Kimlin gave them a 14 point lead with 20 minutes left on the clock.

But the Hurricanes came home with a wet sail, first through a converted try to halfback TJ Perenara and then a disallowed TMO decision in the corner to captain Conrad Smith.

The desperate Hurricanes continued to smash away at the Brumbies line, questionably turning down several penalty shots at goal before an accidental offside allowed the Brumbies to escape with a narrow win.

Headline made me think they lost!

Canes are a tough team, and winning beats the hell out of losing.

Here’s hoping the Brumbies are just keeping their powder dry!
