Queensland Reds coach Les Kiss has praised his team’s fighting spirit after watching them score a try in the 80th minute to snatch a pulsating 28-24 Super Rugby Pacific win over the Western Force in Perth.
The Force, aiming to post three straight wins to start a season for the first time in their 20-year history, shot out to a 14-0 lead inside 22 minutes in front of 7377 fans at HBF Park on Saturday.
The Reds, sparked by two tries to outside centre Josh Flook, hit back hard to take the lead early in the second half, but there were two more big twists to come.
Force flanker Carlo Tizzano scored his second try in the 69th minute to snatch back the lead for the home side.
