Super Rugby AU - Semi Final - Reds v Reb

[emuarse]

A bit hard to get up for anything, have not watched a game live since March, can't watch the game in the pub with friends, can't even have friends over to watch the game. It's F@cked

That's really sad that you have no friends. maybe you're watching too much TV.

Have a zoom party or something. It's not the same but it's better than nothing. Gotta look after that mental health mate.

Reckon I might order a parma and chips direct from the local, get stuck into a few Rebels-branded tinnies and pretend I'm punk in drublic again

I'm quite lucky, I still go to work. It's my wife and 4 year old I am worried about. The 6 month old is fine, she won't remember 2020 luckily.

Absolutely, it's called curfew, only thing to do is watch TV

Bunch of Rebels in Queensland Eh?
Uni students in revolt or something are they?
Don’t you worry about that.

Reds by 20

Anyone know for sure what time kick off is? Originally it was listed as 6:15 but looks like everywhere is saying 7:15 now. Or is that just daylight savings?

 

[RugbyReg]

7:15 kick off. Gates open 6:15

I'm more relaxed about this match than the one against the Force. I'm not saying I think the Rebs will win it, but the pressure of trying to make finals made the experience last Saturday less than enjoyable. That weight is off now and I will enjoy this match regardless (unless it is really close at the end then I will be a complete mess).

Love that Hardwick and Wilkin are both starting!

Wells has been punted to the shadow realm after his performance last week. Good to see Leota come into the 23.

Didn't know Strang was still with the squad, expect Lomani to go 80. Real shame about Tuttle (how many times has that been written?).

No changes for QLD XV:

Jack Straker replaces fellow GPS frontrower Ruan Smith as Queensland’s replacement tighthead prop, while hooker Alex Mafi returns to the 23 from a hamstring injury.

There's a lot to be said about stability. The Reds will be too much for the Rebels in my view, but if it's wet it will be a close one. Reds by 5-10.

Yeah, form says Reds show smoke the Rebels but both previous affairs have been so dour. Rebels really know how to contain the Reds.

Good team selections. Let's hope it's a dry deck and they play some exciting footy

If (and it is a big if) we get the Rebels who turned up against the Brumbies, it will be a cracker!!!

Hope for a wet deck, only way we will be in the match

the Hardwick/Wilkin v McReight/Wright batter is going to be fantastic.

I'm disappointed we won't see Tupou v Pone Round 2.

The real battle will be between the two second rows, IMHO
