Reds vs Brumbies Preview

The Brad Thorn Ballymore Rebuild Project can crown Year Four with its first major trophy if the Reds can win one more game.

It will not come easy to them considering their last meaningful game came four weeks ago when the held off the Brumbies 24-22 at Suncorp Stadium.

Since then they have had a pair of byes and a dead rubber defeat in Perth against the Force so you might see them come out of the blocks a little bit slowly.

As for the Brumbies, they might not have been overly pretty, but they got the job done in a grinding Semi Final against the Force last weekend.

History is firmly on the Reds side having won both meetings this season, albeit by a combined total of four points.

This game will come down to one player, James O’Connor, quite often the subject of scorn and derision in Australian Rugby, he has had arguably his best season as a professional and his experience should help the Reds get over the line.

If you know anything about rugby in Queensland though, they won’t do it the easy way, it would not be a surprise if this game comes down to a kick in the final five minutes though so I won’t touch the line, instead I’ll back the Reds to win a close game.
