On Saturday night, the Queensland Reds made history with a thrilling victory over the Brumbies in the Super Rugby AU Final. The game was highlighted by a spectacular moment when legendary former Reds player, Michael Lynagh, set up a try for current Reds player, Will Genia.
The match was tied at 6-6 when Genia received a pass from Lynagh and ran in for the opening try of the match. The try was the first of three for Genia, who ended up being named Man of the Match. It was a special moment for both players, as well as the entire Reds team.
Lynagh, who is considered one of the greatest players in Australian rugby history, was playing in his first match since retiring in 1995. He was brought on as a replacement in the second half and made an immediate impact, setting up Genia’s try with a perfectly-timed pass.
Genia, who has been with the Reds since 2011, has been a key figure in the team’s success over the years. He has been a consistent performer and is widely regarded as one of the best scrum-halves in the world. His try against the Brumbies was a fitting way to cap off his impressive career with the Reds.
The Reds went on to win the match 25-13, claiming their first Super Rugby AU title. The victory was made even more special by the involvement of Lynagh and Genia. It was a moment that will be remembered for years to come, as two of the greatest players in Australian rugby history combined to help the Reds secure a historic victory.
