The ACT Brumbies kept ahead of their great Super 15 rivals as the battle of the Australian titans finished all-square, but the lead changed hands in the New Zealand and South African conferences this weekend. Jake White's Brumbies fought off a determined Queensland Reds challenge in a tense 19-19 draw in Brisbane to preserve a two-point lead at the top of the Australian conference and in the overall Super Rugby standings. The Reds laid siege to the Brumbies try-line in the final quarter of a sparky match and drew level with a try by flanker Liam Gill four minutes from time.

RugbyU: Door not closed on Cooper, Beale for Lions - Deans

April 12, 2013 07:01
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans said Friday the door was not closed on Quade Cooper and Kurtley Beale despite their omission from a preliminary 30-man Wallabies camp for this year's British and Irish Lions series. Instead of the troubled pair, Deans named James O'Connor, Berrick Barnes and untried ACT Brumby Christian Lealiifano for the Wallabies' playmaking role. The omissions come after Queensland Reds playmaker Cooper was fined Aus$60,000 (US$63,100) and banned for three games last October for bringing the game into disrepute.

The Hurricanes led 19-16 at the turn from four penalties and a converted try to three penalties and a converted try for the Waratahs.
