Live Super Rugby 2016 Round 9: ACT Brumbies v Canterbury Crusaders

80: With the Brumbies pressing, they give away a penalty for not releasing and that's all she wrote. Fittingly it's getting dark to signify what was a dark day for the home side. They were under the pump for most of the game with turnovers proving massively costly. Crusaders make it 7 in a row. CRusaders 40-14.

78: Joe Tomane in the hands of the trainers in the back field. Now he's up with a limp. Appeared to clutch at his leg when he threw a pass from the ground. The Brumbies' day might be getting worse...

So the only interest left in this game is whether the Crusaders can pass the Chiefs' mark of 48 points set here a coupla weeks ago for the highest score from a visiting team to Canberra Stadium...

65: And of course the Crusaders make the Brumbies pay yet again. Marty McKenzie capitalises on a good run from Macilai. Mounga converts. All over bar the shouting. Crusaders 40-14.

63: Brumbies blow a possible try. They forced the turnover in their own half and Tomane was away with Coleman on his outside and only Nadolo to beat, but he loses the ball forward and it's a CRusaders scrum 40m out. Chances slipping away for the home side...

In the words of the Starks, winter is coming in Canberra and with the going down of the sun it's starting to get chilly here in the nation's capital. Hope you brought a jacket...

So for all the head way the Brumbies were making, another error has put them right back where they started the half...

51: Now the Brumbies pack is getting some go forward. But Kuridrani couldn't hold onto a pass. The Crusaders break 3/4 of the length of the field to score a try. Great pick-up by centre David Havili and he has Taylor on his outside for the hooker's second try. Mounga doesn't miss. Crusaders 33-14.

50: Can't believe my colleague Blocka Dutton was bagging Aidan Toua's kicking game! Great little 40-20 there from the Brumbies fullback... ps yes I know there's no 40-20 in union...

45: Stephen Moore comes from the field, a bit of a lower leg injury perhaps? And the crowd explodes into life as Ben Alexander makes a break, puts the ball on the hoof and makes a great tackle. Matt Toomua was in support and he wins the penalty for not releasing. Flick, flick go the Brumbies and Smoking Joe Tomane is in the corner! That's more like it! Lealiifano with a great kick from the sideline! Crusaders 26-14.
