Wales Prevails in Nail-Biting Encounter with Reds at Suncorp Stadium

A 79th minute try to Kieran Hardy has denied the Reds a famous victory over Wales, who hold on for a 36-35 win at Suncorp Stadium.

It’s Wales‘ first win of 2024 as they were forced to work by a Reds side that never gave up. Warren Gatland’s men built a 31-14 lead just after the break but a hat-trick to Richie Asiata via the rolling maul gave them hope.

A strong crowd in Brisbane inspired them back into the contest and Mac Grealy’s double suddenly gave them a lead with ten minutes to go.

In the end, Hardy spied space after minutes of attack on the Reds line to give the visitors a hard-fought victory.

Wales were hungry for their first win of the tour and it was one of the best from the Tests in Archie Griffin who barged over for the opener.

The Queensland Reds were missing over a dozen of their players to either international duties or injuries but it didn’t stop them from testing Wales as their set-piece stood up.
