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.

Custom Clelin Ferrell Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Authentic Custom Raiders Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. PROVO, Utah -- The wait is over for Tanner Mangum.The BYU sophomore quarterback sat most of 2016 despite setting several freshman records in 2015 after Taysom Hill suffered a season-ending foot injury. Hill won the job back as a fifth-year senior, but will miss the final game of his career due to an elbow injury. Mangum will start the Poinsettia Bowl against Wyoming (8-5) on Dec. 21 and take over what should be his team for the foreseeable future.Mangum doesnt see the game as a launch pad for next season, but he has been patiently waiting for this moment.It was a test for me to keep that long-term perspective, Mangum told The Associated Press on Tuesday. While youre going through that, it can be tough to see that. It can be tough as a competitor wanting to compete. But you have to learn how to be a teammate and learn how to support your teammates and be there for them through the ups and the downs.Looking back, Im definitely grateful for the experience I had and the lessons I learned. I think its helped prepare me now to be able to play in this last bowl game and help the team finish strong.Sitting behind Hill allowed Mangum to learn the new pro-style scheme implemented by offensive coordinator Ty Detmer and the first-year coaching staff at BYU (8-4). He gained a better understanding of how to be selfless and push himself in practices despite limited reps and the unlikelihood of seeing the field. That can be a humbling experience after throwing for 3,337 yards and 23 touchdowns as a freshman.Those are times where, mentally, youre kind of learning on the run, Detmer said. (Mangums) been on the headsets every game, so hes hearing the end-game, play-by-play coaching points. Overall, that maturity level, having an offseason that he didnt have the year before, all of it has really played into his favor.dddddddddddd.With the new system, kind of learn through someone else. And then be ready to go now. ... Obviously, hes going to be a great player here and were excited that hes here and a part of it. When he looks back on it, I think hell really appreciate the time that he had to sit and learn and listen and take it all in and not have to take the bumps and bruises while youre doing it.Mangum said the game has slowed down this season and that has helped his confidence. He focused on recognizing defensive coverages and being able to audible at the line of scrimmage. Last year, Mangum was thrust into the starting lineup just months after returning from a two-year Mormon mission.The offense wont change dramatically with Mangum under center, Detmer said, despite the different styles of play. Hill was more of an athlete with the ability to create with his legs. Mangum prefers to remain in the pocket as a pure passer.Obviously, quarterbacks have different preferences and different things that they like, Detmer said. So, well try to stick with what Tanner feels most comfortable with, especially not having the most reps this year. But you also look at what you feel like he does the best and try to pair those two.Senior receiver Mitchell Juergens added, We know Tanners going to sling the rock. As receivers, we just have to be ready to catch and make plays and make his job easier.Still, BYU players are disappointed in the way the Hill era ended. His 75 total touchdowns rank No. 5 in school history and his 9,744 yards of total offense rank No. 4. Hills 2,815 rushing yards are the most by a quarterback in BYU history.---More college football http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
