A Queensland scrum "THORESE" smashed the hopes of the Melbourne Rebels on Friday night and ended a painful five-game loss for the Reds.
The giant pillar Taniela Tupou has become so influential in scrimmage In Super Rugby, Michael Cheika, the Wallabies manager, will beat him in front of veteran Sekope Kepu at some point in the Rugby Championship.
The Reds had won just one of their five Australian derbies until the 37-23 victory at Suncorp Stadium for the 10,340 true believers who showed up.
Tupou was at the heart of the five melee penalties and penalty test that the Reds won in the first period and a tackle on half body-wrapped Michael Rebels almost.
HERE'S HERE FOR FIVE THINGS WE LEARN
There was a standing ovation of corporate boxes and full-time ground corners after the Reds had a late game decisive.
18-year-old Jordan Petaia, who was playing for the first time in the hot spot at the outside center, forced his body through the Rebels' defense and dumped a superb clearance with one hand to put Jono Lance on the line.
Young people may be cold, but they are not afraid.
The rebels will complain about this defeat. Staying in eighth place and a place in the final is now a tight race with the nine-man Sharks still playing in Cape Town and only a tough visit to Dunedin next weekend to win other points.
The Reds' center, Duncan Paia & # 39; aua, did not score a point in the second half at 24-23. Rear Dane Haylett-Petty threw a rare whistle to a flying Jack Maddocks to attempt a try and the Rebels failed to capitalize when he made a 35m shot through a bad tackle from Liam Wright.

The Reds refused a shot on penalty with the score. at 5 pm, just before half-time, to prepare another scrum after a penalty test with maneuvering power earlier in the half
When this melee sequence saw the rebels propel Tetera Faulkner onto the turf, the pressure of Tupou. Falek and Fusskner were scarred for being collapsed and, for once, the Reds were ruthless with skipper Scott Higginbotham taking off at the helm. Filipo Daugunu's striker was eliminated by two penalty goals from Reece Hodge to open the second half and a yellow card to center Duncan Paia's aua while he was offside.
Izack Rodda's test was a worthy reward for the lock. He tried to score the first kick of the night and when he managed to stifle a kick from Jack Maddocks after 38 minutes, the ball bounced back so perfectly that he had time to salute an arm before scoring.
The rebels had moments. Winger Maddocks shared two backrowers of the Reds with a 30m run to the line from a start and a nice interaction between Haylett-Petty, Hodge and Michael Ruru put Cottrell in his place.
QUEENSLAND REDS 37 (1 penalty try) (Filipo Daugunu, Jono Lance, Izack Rodda tries Lance 3 against 3 pens) REBELS 23 (Angus Cottrell, Jack Maddocks Reece Hodge tent 2 against 3 pens) at Suncorp Stadium. Arbitrator: Paul Williams. Crowd: 10,340.
REDS v REBELS – 5 THINGS TAKEN
1 Reds skipper Scott Higginbotham was the best striker of the season. His trysaving tackle on Tom English, a clever back-of-the-scrum climb to set up a key test and hard work in the tight was crucial.
2 We learned that a quick send shot after a penalty try is illegal. The Rebels put it through Dane Haylett-Petty to set up the field position for the Angus Cottrell trial. He got out of it but the rule book says he should not have done it
3 Jordan Petaia has a little bit of Ben Tune's about him . Tune could force his body to come into contact and that is exactly what the 18 year old man did and made a great ball for Jono Lance's essay
4 Too few will see all the hard work of the Izack Rodda task try. The reason he greeted the way to the tryline was because it was the culmination of every kick that he tried to press this season.
