ACT Brumbies made a huge statement for Australian rugby by outfighting New Zealand powerhouse the Auckland Blues 25-20 in a bruising battle on Sunday, the highlight of the second round of the Super Rugby Pacific season. Brumbies hooker Lachlan Lonergan broke a 20-20 tie with a try off the Canberra-based side’s trademark rolling maul in the 35th minute and neither side was able to score a single point for the remainder of a match played in stifling heat.
