They were up for it but just not able to sustain it. I was proud of the first half but we were a different side after the break and that's really disappointing." If you give the Hurricanes that much possession you're asking for trouble.

The Reds have surrendered a 17-point lead to go down 30-17 to the Hurricanes in Melbourne on Saturday evening. Who were the top performers in the match?

Off in 72nd minute. Off in 74th minute. Made the second-most metres of any player on the field. Off in 63rd minute. Off in 61st minute but joined the game again with a couple of minutes left on the clock. The Reds’ attack dropped a notched when he was off the field. Carted the ball up 17 times – the most of any player on the field. Did nab a breakdown penalty to shut down one Hurricanes skirmish in the second half as well as a turnover in the final 10 minutes but the net performance at the breakdown was not great. Nabbed one lineout steal in the first half but otherwise contributed little on either attack or defence. Looked for the offload when it was on to keep the ball alive. Made one great run in the midfield in the first stanza and was generally hard to bring down on the carry in the second while also chalking up 14 tackles. Missed the tackle on Jordie Barrett at the beginning of the second half that gave the Hurricanes the momentum needed for their third try.
