HIGHLIGHTS-Super Rugby round two

March 4 (Reuters) - Highlights from round two of Super Rugby: ACT BRUMBIES 32 NEW SOUTH WALES WARATAHS 15 The Brumbies forwards sealed the home side's second win of the season with a late penalty try after shoving the Waratahs' scrum over the line. Christian Lealiifano, Joe Tomane and Nigel Ah Wong scored the other tries for the Brumbies at Canberra Stadium, with Israel Folau and Nick Phipps crossing for the Waratahs. The Waratahs had two locks sent off in the first half but went into the break level at 8-8. CRUSADERS 28 BLUES 13 After losing a hard-fought match to the Chiefs at home last week, the Crusaders grabbed their first win of the season, with number eight Kieran Read barging over the line in the 68th minute to seal a scrappy victory in Christchurch. The Crusaders forwards built an early 13-3 lead, shoving the Blues pack over the line to earn a penalty try in the 18th minute. The Blues, 1-1 for the season, defended stoutly into the second half but explosive Fijian winger Nemani Nadolo tore the visitors' defence to shreds with a bustling run through midfield to set up Read's try out wide. Flyhalf Richie Mo'unga iced the win with an intercept try in the last minute after Tevita Li crossed for the Blues' sole try.
