Force vs Reds - S15 Round 12 - 4 May 2013

[Scoey]

Personally I'd be happy to see Sheehan come in for Alby. Alby was quite good against us at Suncorp.

Everyone calling us the strongest conference realises we're a game ahead of the other 2 don't they?

Yeah there may be more than a few fans scratching their heads wondering why the slide has occurred come the Test window.

Don't disperse the burley too much.

 

[Jets]

Also are bottom 3 are in the bottom 5 over all. Not sure that makes us very strong. We have 2 very good teams but I don't think we should be saying we are the strongest conference.

I expect the Reds to extract some revenge this time around. Reds by 20+

I would have thought that the South Africans were the current leaders of the Muttonbird Cup given their teams have a better win loss ratio against the other conferences' teams???

Anyway - go Reds.

Which makes it even more impressive considering the Reds & Brumbies have lost the least amount of games.....

Force won't be easybeats.

Reds by 3.

I don't want to see another train wreck of a game like last week. I think we will see Sias return as the starting 10 and SNK shift to the bench or fullback. Mafi and Badger to the wings.

Yep but on a game by game basis we are putting teams away from the other conferences by playing well and it' great to see. We are not the strongest conference, SA is.

Talking of games in hand and that sought of stuff, the Cheetahs are the standouts in my view. Two byes in hand (this week being on of them of course) and the road trip done and dusted, yet they are chalking up the wins. They are in good shape.

Reds biggest winning margin of the season is 10 points. They have not put a single team away by a big score all season.

They were towelled up 45-19 in Perth last season and even in the title winning 2011 season only jagged a win in the dying seconds when Shipperley went over in the corner.

I think it will be tighter than most seem to expect.

all true, but I would be happy to win the Super 15 final by one point, any more would be showing off!

Signal of intent not to get bashed out of it from Link.

Good test again this week for the young Reds backrow.

 

[biggsy]

Even the bench is awesome for the reds,
Force being the reds boggy team. The reds better turn up as the force will up for a big win at home after there pathetic attempt of playing rugby last week.

 

[Jets]

I think this is our best backline. Good to see Albert Anae get his first start for the Reds. Great reward for a great guy.

 

[Ash]

Davies injured again? Is it his hamstring and any idea how long for?

 

[Scoey]

Yep I heard it was his hammy. Minor twinge only and rested this week as precaution apparently. Keep in mind though, that's what they said about Horwills ankle at the start of the year too!
