RU:Reds suffer huge scare in tight win over Moana

Jock Campbell has scored a try with just two minutes remaining as the Queensland Reds overcame a huge scare to beat Moana Pasifika 33-31 and all but secure a Super Rugby Pacific finals berth.

The Reds led 26-7 early in the second half of Saturday's match in Auckland, but Moana piled on the next three tries to take the lead as a boilover loomed.

Down by five points and with the clock ticking over to the 79th minute, the Reds made the most of a scrum by swinging the ball to fullback Campbell for the levelling try.

Ben Volavola made no mistake with the conversion from straight in front, with the Reds holding firm for victory.

"They came home with a wet sail. It was a set play for us, and thankfully it worked," Campbell told Stan after the match.
