Round 6: Reds v Brumbies

[Tomikin]

Swain starting so Reds only need to stay within 3 points late for the win.

That's ok from the return kick off will just drop it on Wilson so we can walk in some points.

 

[Crashy]

crowd expectation. more than 20k would be a good result over Easter. Tahs will be a trainwreck crowd-wise.

 

[dillyboy]

I'd love a decent crowd but with Easter holidays I'm not counting on much.

In our regular group of 4 I'm the only one going...

 

[Confucius Say]

Reds will smoke them.

 

[Yoda]

Both sides pretty much as expected, and probably the strongest they can put on the field right now. Should be a very tight game with some top quality rugby being played.

Your tipping after last week‘s Force v Reds game throws your reputation into tatters!

 

[Sully]

If last week's team's turn up, this will be all Brumbies. Hopefully the Reds have had an attitude adjustment and we get a great spectacle. Looking forward to a good night out at Suncorp.

The Brumbies' defence has been poor this year...

A slight improvement last week, and this is probably an area in the forwards that Swain/Neville add a bit more strength, but the Reds are going to be a lot more threatening in attack so unless the Brumbies' finally get their shit together they could get pasted.

 

[LeCheese]

Some admirable efforts here by Brumbies fans to talk up the Reds and try to acquire the underdog label. A full strength Brumbies side should put 30 - 40 points on the Reds the way they are playing atm.

It was a bold strategy for the Reds to lose last week so that they could claim underdog status this week

Last week aside (for both teams) Reds were one of the form sides in the competition while the Brumbies were struggling. Reds had played and beaten the reigning favourites (Chiefs) and run the current leaders (Canes) close. Brumbies struggled against teams near the bottom of the ladder. Form over the year so far suggests a clear win to the Reds.

Who's excited, I'll be at Suncorp to watch the game.. be nice to watch a live game of footy..

 

[Tomikin]

With the way the teams have been playing this year, it looks like the Reds will be trying to maul their way to victory, with the Brumbies playing expansive footy spreading it to the wings...

I’ll be there.

Games at Easter may not be good for general attendence but it generally works better for me. Looking forward to it.

 

[Oracle83]

Probably just giving Creighton a run. Not bad to have your first game of the season being against your brother.

One can only think this was Les’s thinking - I wish him well but surely this has to be Lawson Creightons last shot. He’s a good club player but previous super rugby sub par for mine.

The pre match drivel from Tim Horan…. How is he still commentating?

The sound muted…

 

[Yoda]

May the best team win…

 

[Yoda]

Lynagh forward pass. No try…

 

[Yoda]

Surely not…
