MELBOURNE (Reuters) - It has been Brad Thorn's way or the highway since the former All Blacks enforcer took the reins at the Queensland Reds three years ago and his single-minded approach has brought them to the brink of the Super Rugby AU title.

The Reds face the ACT Brumbies in the title decider in Canberra on Saturday, the ultimate test for an up-and-coming team hoping to bring pride back to Queensland after years of struggle.
