Rebels vs Reds Preview
Brad Thorn’s Ballymore rebuild is on its way to claiming its first piece of silverware with the Reds in the box seat to take out the Super Rugby AU minor premiership.
They are a long way off dropping the mission accomplished banner at Ballymore however with the side needing to continue their winning ways over the next three weeks to lock up a home Grand Final.
While they enter this game as deserved favourites over the Melbourne Rebels and you would back them without a second thought in a vacuum, this contest has a whole lot of red flags to it.
To start off with, the Reds have had their entire week thrown off following the Covid outbreak in Brisbane which has forced the club to go “on tour” in preparation for this game.
On top of that, the Rebels might not be at their level in terms of quality, but they can give this Reds team all sorts of trouble for 80 minutes on Saturday night.
Queensland only just escaped with a 23-21 victory in late February and now the Rebels will host them for the first time since a 30-24 win in May 2019.
I’m still expecting the Reds to come out raring to go, but their impacted build up, general struggles with the Rebels and a few injuries creeping in means I’m not quite ready to declare this a blowout in the making.
