Danny Cipriani wins the Melbourne Rebels' first game

Danny Cipriani converts an 80th minute penalty to give the Melbourne Rebels their first ever win; 25-24 over the ACT Brumbies at AAMI Park in Melbourne. The Rebels still had to field the kick-off and put the ball out of play to seal the win.

Cipriani was 6/7 on the night and Matt Giteau was 5/6 for the Brumbies in an enthralling contest that was dominated by the boot.

NB: That is Stephen Larkham's head in the foreground in the first few seconds of the video. He's the most famous water boy in Super Rugby!
