Scoey
Tony Shaw (54)
Date: Saturday 16 April 2016
Venue: Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
Kick Off: 5:05 pm local (Sunday 17 April - 1:05am AEST)
Referee: Angus Gardner
Assistant Referees: AJ Jacobs and TBA
TMO: Johan Greeff
We all know how the Reds have been tracking and regardless of how we played the first half on Sat night, I don't think anyone really has high expectations for our South African Tour. Our hopes are probably a bit higher now though!
Beating the Bulls at Loftus is never easy. Ever. They are currently sitting 2nd in their conference, 3rd in their Group and 8th overall, so you could say they are travelling ok. The Reds haven't played any of the top teams (apart from that little win over the 2nd best team and defending champs on the weekend) but I think it's fair to say that the Bulls have had the easier draw.
Bulls results to date: (Result/venue/opposition/oppo log position/points diff for that match)
R1 - Loss away Stormers (2nd) -24
R2 - Win home Rebels (9th) +20
R3 - Bye
R4 - Draw home Sharks (10th) 0
R5 - Win away Sunwolves (18th) +3
R6 - Win home Cheetahs (15th) +5
R7 - Win away Kings (17th) +32
If we are a chance of a win on tour, this is it. It's a tall order but we've seen what the boys are capable of now when it clicks.
Go you REDS!
