SYDNEY – The Melbourne Rebels and Queensland Reds drew 18-18 in a scrappy Super Rugby AU contest played out in front of a small crowd at Brookvale Oval on Friday after the novelty of golden point extra time failed to separate the sides.
Reds flyhalf James O'Connor converted hooker Alex Mafi's 80th minute try to tie up the scores and send the contest into the inaugural "Super Time", one of a series of law tweaks aimed at spicing up the Australian game. Bryce Hegarty missed a 50-metre penalty attempt for the Reds halfway through the 10-minute extra period but it was otherwise pock-marked by a series of long punts back and forth between the two teams.
Greasy conditions had made for an error-strewn contest in regulation time with the Rebels edging the first half 6-0 courtesy of two Matt Toomua penalties.
