good position to win the series.<\/p>\n<p>Entrance was free to the public and attracted a record crowd of over 10,800 spectators, although those attending were asked to make a donation, which the CBRu will use to help charities.<\/p>\n<p>Germany was the stronger of the two sides but Brazil did, nonetheless, compete well.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian scrum was impressive by all accounts but their opponent\u2019s dominance gave away few penalties and Germany took the series after scoring a 31-7 win.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-1852 gallery-columns-1
