It was not a good enough performance as the Hurricanes fell to a frustrating 18-12 loss to the Reds at Suncorp Stadium.

The match featured a dramatic finish as the visitor’s chased the game till the final seconds only for a spilt pass to end a challenge that was frustrated by the prominent role of referee Steve Walsh.

The Reds scored a try in each half, to wing Digby Ioane and lock Rob Simmons, while the Hurricanes had only four penalties to first five eighth Beauden Barrett to show for their efforts.

In other matches played last night the Blues battered the Crusaders 34-15 while the Waratahs defeated the Rebels 31-26.
