Brisbane - The Reds have beaten the Waratahs 19-15 at the Suncorp stadium in Brisbane after leading 9-6 at half time.

In what can only be described as a true arm wrestle of a match that was as physical as anything we have seen all season, flyhalf Quade Cooper scored the only try of the match, celebrating with a gymnastics-style backflip, and kicked three penalties and a drop goal to account for all of the Red's points in a record-breaking win over their state archrivals.

The win was the seventh in a row for the Reds and broke a seven-game losing streak against the Waratahs. The Reds won six in a row in their inaugural season in Super rugby in 1996.

Kurtley Beale scored all of the Waratahs' points with five penalties.
