Wallabies teammates Harry Wilson and Andrew Kellaway have reignited Australian rugby's greatest rivalry before the Queensland Reds ended the NSW Waratahs' unbeaten Super Rugby Pacific start. But a potentially serious shoulder injury to star Reds and Wallabies No.7 Fraser McReight was a sore point in their 35-15 bonus-point win on Saturday night at Suncorp Stadium. McReight landed awkwardly scoring a terrific second-half try, Reds coach Les Kiss confirming an AC joint injury but "didn't think it'll be anything sinister". There was no love lost as the Waratahs, boasting former longtime Reds Taniela Tupou and Lawson Creighton, arrived looking to dent their rivals' top-four aspirations. It was the visitors who breathed fire in the early exchanges, to a fault when fullback Kellaway was sin-binned for dangerously lifting and tipping back-rower and Test captain Wilson after making a crunching tackle that dislodged the ball. Play continued and the Waratahs threatened to score, before a review saw Test back Kellaway yellow carded. Kellaway engaged Wilson with some pointed chat on his way to the bench, bloody-nosed Wilson responding with some of his own as he directed his Test colleague to the sin bin. The incident sparked the Reds, who steadied with an opportunistic try to fullback Heremiah Murray that cancelled out Tristan Reilly's opener for the Waratahs. The visitors had dominated the opening 15 minutes but the Reds tipped the scales. Wilson bumped and spun over for a try of his own, then replacement hooker Richie Asiata finished a 20-metre driving maul less than a minute after Matt Faessler went off injured. Coach Dan McKellar, who enjoyed a spirited rivalry with the Reds as Brumbies coach, was annoyed the clash didn't live up to the week's hype. "We didn't capitalise," he said of their early dominance. "Yellow card and then we sort of fell off the cliff. Some really soft moments that are not good enough. "That maul try was border-line embarrassing for all involved." Asked what went wrong with that maul defence, first-time skipper Hugh Sinclair was blunt. "You've got to put your head in the maul and f***ing stop it ... excuse my French," he said. The hosts, in front of 20,072 fans, hit top gear in the second half with re-signed flanker McReight finishing a sharp sequence that passed through five sets of hands. The Reds defended desperately to thwart the Tahs' reply, twice holding the Waratahs up over the line and Wilson winning a turnover to get the hosts out of trouble. Replacement Angus Blyth then burrowed over at the other end to ice the result, Langi Gleeson with a late consolation try as the Reds joined the Waratahs at 3-1 this season. Kiss, happy to bounce back from last Sunday's poor display against the Crusaders, praised his side's defensive desperation and disciplined physicality. "They pushed us off kilter a bit, but I was proud how we worked our way back," Kiss said. "It was gritty and determined ... that gave us the points." Fit-again lock Seru Uru was impressive in his return for the Reds while Max Jorgensen was a threat all night for the Waratahs.
