The Brumbies have consolidated their place on top of Super Rugbys Australian conference with an all-important 43-24 bonus-point win over Queensland at GIO Stadium.The ACT franchise extended their winning streak to four on a freezing Friday night thanks to a try double to Wallabies skipper Stephen Moore.The hosts had a shaky start and trailed 10-0 before their attack was sparked by Argentinian halfback Tomas Cubelli, who replaced Joe Powell in the 58th minute, that led to three tries in the final 20 minutes.The six-tries-to-three victory puts them five points ahead of fierce rivals the NSW Waratahs, who play Japans unfancied Sunwolves in Tokyo on Saturday.Even if the Tahs land a win with bonus point, the Brumbies will retain the lead with an extra victory up their sleeve with two regular-season games remaining.It was a rather uninspiring affair in Canberra after the month-long international hiatus.Near-zero temperatures and a greasy field meant plenty of errors and injuries - including to Brumbies debutant and No.8 Ben Hyne, whose first Super Rugby game lasted less than five minutes after he rolled his ankle.The Reds drew first blood with a penalty goal and converted try to hooker Andrew Ready for a 10-0 lead after 18 minutes.It took a while for the Brumbies to warm up, but they finally did just before the break via co-captain Moore off a rolling maul.A Ben Alexander five-pointer after the half-time siren gave them a 15-10 lead.Queensland were denied the chance to level the scores in the 42nd minute after the TMO spotted a foot in touch en route to an entertaining Samu Kerevi try.Instead, the hosts skipped ahead with another Moore effort - his seventh of the season, the most ever by a hooker in Super Rugby.Duncan Paiaaua briefly took the wind out of the Brumbies sails, before Lealiifano scored off a Cubelli break.Cubelli dived over for one of his own 10 minutes later. Lausii Taliauli sealed the bonus point with five minutes remaining.The Brumbies travel to Auckland next week to face the Blues, while the Reds host the Chiefs.Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham was disappointed with the first half, but encouraged by a superb second term.He said it had been a pretty emotional week for many of his players, left disappointed by their recent Wallabies 3-0 Test series loss to England.We had one training run this week and we didnt do any breakdown or defensive work, he said.I think that first-half was really a bit of a training run to find their feet, and in the second half they got it all together.It was a bonus to get the three-try advantage - we havent had many this year.Reds skipper James Slipper said Alexanders try hurt them after an impressive start.The first 20 minutes we played the game that we came here to play and put the Brumbies under a lot of pressure, he said.We knew they were going to be a tough team to beat, especially down here at home - theyre a finals contender so we knew had to be on our game.But I thought, overall, our players really put their hands up tonight.

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. Jordan Scarlett Youth Jersey . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. http://www.shoppanthersonline.us/panthers-curtis-samuel-blue-jersey/ . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead.

Michael Dee heads to unfamiliar territory in Sydney on Festival Stakes day as he approaches a significant milestone in the latter stages of his apprenticeship.The Melbourne-based New Zealander needs two city wins to lose his claim and and will ride at Rosehill for the first time on Saturday.The 20-year-old is booked to partner the Ciaron Maher-trained Hazzabeel in the Group Three Festival Stakes (1500m) and will also be aboard Husson Eagle in the Listed Starlight Stakes unless Racing NSW does a backflip and lets Michelle Payne ride.Racing NSW doesnt recognise dual trainer/jockey licences which Payne holds in Victoria, meaning she is classed as a trainer only in NSW.Payne has been hoping Racing NSW will reverse its decision so she can continue her association with Husson Eagle who is trained by her brother Patrick.On Monday, Racing NSW said its position was unchanged.If she doesnt get her licence granted, Ill be going up for two really nice rides, Dee said.The 20-year-old Dee has only ridden once in Sydney when third in the Group One Metropolitan on the Godolphin-owned Allergic last month at Randwick.He was keen to stick with Hazzabeel after riding the former Perth-based horsee to a 1-3/4 length win in the Listed Kilmore Cup (1600m) on November 20.ddddddddddddHe just won the Kilmore Cup that well and I think Ciaron has got him back on track, Dee said.He was originally going to go to Perth for the Kingston Town Stakes (this Saturday) but due to flights getting cancelled and he had to divert and change plans. There was this nice race in Sydney for him.The race was run to suit him in the Kilmore Cup with good tempo and he was able to work into it nicely and win running away from them. I think if there was good speed in the race this weekend, he should be able to do the same.At what is a vital stage of his career, Dee is keen to use Saturdays opportunity to show trainers he can compete against the senior riders without a claim .Its also a good opportunity to get in a different area and be riding in these good races, he said.He is looking forward to the challenge as a senior rider.I won the Kilmore Cup the other day and Ive won a few other stakes races here in Melbourne. So I dont see why I cant take the next step, he said. ' ' '
