Ben Mowen looks to steal possession at the break down but is deemed to be off his feet. Steyn steps up and knocks it over - the battle of the out-halves continues!

On a side note, George Smith's having a cracking game, terrorising the defence with ball in hand.

Mellett makes his way on for Greyling but is immediately penalised at scrum time. Brumbies opt for points from right in front.

Bulls showing lots of intent early in the second. They batter their way down-field before Hattingh eventually barges over. But Smith and White combine to deny Hattingh his try - The ball is held up, and the referee returns to an infringement in the build up. Steyn knocks it over, and brings his side to within two points.

@Bryan, yeah real nice try. Pass from Speight was suspect, but referee allowed it.

Under pressure at the break down, Hougaard happily boots the ball into touch signalling the half time whistle. Brumbies lead by five at the break - Steyn's misfiring boot providing the difference. Jake White will be pleased with a strong first half performance, whilst the Bulls will be frustrated by a number of missed opportunities. Bulls playing some conservative, risk averse rugby, whilst the Brumbies have remained calm and patient in defence and taken all their points. Brumbies look set to tarnish the Bulls' impeccable home record this season!

Was it gd?

@Chris, yeah may well have been for the offside. Almost identical positions though!

After a number of minutes of scrappy play, a penalty goes the Brumbies way at scrum-time - Kruger pinged for collapsing. Lealiifano steps up and knocks it over. Five points the difference, 36 minutes gone.

Thought he'd called the Brumbies for offside before he got told about that late tackle.

Steyn adds to his considerable points tally with a penalty kick right in front (Late tackle by Toomua) - The lead narrows to two.
