80' TRY FOR THE BRUMBIES! Wilcox now has a hat-trick! It's tremendous vision from substitute Dillon, who fires a cross kick towards the posts and our right wing reads it to run over. Rampant from our backline in the second half. Three kick collects and three tries for Wilcox.
79' Try for Hong Kong China. And just like that, the home side score as I eat my words. Ramage with his hat-trick. The score 56-31 to us in the closing seconds.
78' That could be it as Lipina Ata's teammates give him enormous congratulations for winning a defensive penalty. This has been an excellent test for us today.
72' TRY FOR THE BRUMBIES! A second for Wilcox and would you believe it, another kick through from Meredith. The commentator calls it a 'telepathic connection' between the two and he's not wrong, unbelievable play.
70' Try for Hong Kong - Ramage has his second, showing a rapid pair of heels to pull away from the covering second. They still trail by 23 points here.

We are also back up to a full compliment of players here, with Ollie Aylmer coming on for Shaw at the conclusion of the sin bin.

44' TRY FOR THE BRUMBIES! It's Nelson who dives over for a try pretty much straight after coming on. Pritchard is the creator, slicing through the Hong Kong China defence.

39' TRY FOR THE BRUMBIES! What a try from Mickelson who has his second and what pace for a hooker. Incredible scenes.

19' TRY FOR THE BRUMBIES! The breakthrough comes from hooker Chris Mickelson, winner of this year's Macdougall Medal in the John I Dent Cup. It's Anderson with the break from full-back and some sharp hands sees Mickelson collect the ball. He steps the final defender to dive over under the posts.
18' The Brumbies are held up over the line but we are starting to pepper the home side's line. Can we make this territory pay?
17' Nearly a wonder try from the Brumbies! It's Kadin Pritchard with the initial spark, breaking the tackle and then flicks a no-look pass to Austin Anderson. Anderson finds Toby Macpherson, who plays a one-two with Creighton, but the ball is again spilled with the tryline beckoning.
15' A bit of kick tennis, with a lovely take from Hong Kong China full-back Brendan Nel. Declan Meredith eventually finds touch on the half-way line.
