The former New Zealand 7s representative was rewarded with his five-pointers after gaining 38 metres on the attack from 11 runs which included two offloads.

Wallabies and Brumbies back-rower Valetini, tearaway delivered another outstanding all-round performance sealing an emphatic 52-24 win over the Queensland Reds.
