McCalman has played a fair bit of lock at Sydney Uni, what they may lose at scrum time (more Cowen than the locks) they may gain supporting width against a not very mobile Reds backrow

Perth has been from 30 to 40 degrees the last 3 months and a lot of days of humidity around 70 80 percent. You know that they call Perth the hottest city in Australia. Those boys will be fine
Go the force!!!!

I'm not sure this heat is going to the help the Reds at all. They have chosen the bigger pack and have a few guys like Horwill coming back from injury. Not to mention A finger and P Hynes who didn't even play in the trials.
This game could be determined by who gets the most out of their bench, as the bench players are likely to pick up a fair bit of time.
It is farken hot out there.

I just got home from playing some 7-a-side soccer in the middle of the day and I can confirm that it is insanely hot. I reckon I sweated a couple of water bottles in the 40minute game time - it's going to be a very slippery old day out there this afternoon! I think this game will go longer than usually with the amount of drinks breaks.
GO THE REDS!

Don't think the heat is going to have any impact on a big pack vs a medium pack in terms of mobility, they are all fit. If anything, our bigger pack is going to have better ball security, and the slippery ball is less likely to be turned over. Expect to see Higginbotham come on in the 2nd half straight away.

Hope the Reds have a spare set of uniforms for halftime. I ran a Half-Marathon yesterday arvo on the Sunshine Coast and ended up drowning in sweat.
Think today is couple degrees hotter again so wouldn't be at all surprised to see things open up a bit in last 10 mins of each half but think the Reds with Higgers and Toua on bench are better positioned to take advantage of the conditions than the Force.

Must be television scheduling, let's see, if the game was played at 7.30 it would clash with...nothing (assuming Kenya v NZ in one day cricket is nothing).
Must be transport then. Nope, Force can't make the 7.30 flight out anyway with the game due to finish at 6.30.
Which only leaves...ineptitude. Who'd have thought that from rugby administrators?
Go the Force, $5.50 1-12 points.

Brian Burke had a few left but that great Qld entrepreneur Tim Johnston took the last ones back to the Gold Coast.

hopefully I can get home in time for the second half of this. Good luck to link and the Reds, hope they put up some entertainment and fight to up the build up to next weeks game. Try and get a record etc.

Wow. That big monster Qld pack is really smashing the Force pack around! Go Blue.
