Rebels make remarkable second half comeback against Brumbies

The Rebels made a remarkable second half comeback to win their Super Rugby match against the Brumbies 29-26 in Melbourne last night.

Wallabies halfback Will Genia produced a superb individual performance scoring four tries in the second half to fire the Rebels to a remarkable second half finish after trailing 19‑3 at halftime.

The Rebels have now won three matches with the two‑time defending champion Crusaders the only other unbeaten team in Super Rugby this season.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes snatched a 25-22 victory over the Highlanders with a last‑gasp Beauden Barrett penalty.

Barret slotted the three‑pointer from in front on the 22‑metre line after the final hooter to give his side the win in Wellington.

In today’s matches, the Crusaders will face the Chiefs at 4.15pm while the Blues will meet the Sunwolves at 6.35pm.
