There are a few imports into the squad this year (https://westernforce.rugby/news/five-major-signings-increase-their-super-w-stocks-202333) particularly in the pack which will hopfully allow the team to be more competitive with the first big test this week

Same XV for the Reds, with some of their own kiwi reinforcements from the bench.

In the reserves this week, Craig has welcomed three players who have joined the Reds program from the recently completed Super Rugby Aupiki competition in New Zealand.

Scrumhalf Diane Hiini, who was part of the victorious Matatu squad who defeated Chiefs Manawa in the final last weekend has been named on the bench.

Hiini is joined in the reserves by prop Cristo Tofa, and flyhalf Carys Dallinger, who were both part of the Hurricanes Poua squad throughout the 2023 season.

I got to see Qld v Brumbies. I felt like Qld made it hard for themselves, but a lot of credit to the Brumby women. They saved about 3-4 tries in the line.

A pretty epic couple of semi finals in super W. Hope people watched them.
The biggest improvement areas from the corresponding semis last year for me are the intensity and execution in defence and at the breakdown.
Have really enjoyed the season, the development of the Brumbies, Force and Rebels great to see.

Have watched replay about ten times and still can’t figure out why the reds got the last penalty to win the game.
If it was for the tackle after the pass, it wasn’t late, it wasn’t a shoulder charge and the spot the ref awarded the penalty was 5 meters closer to the posts. Very strange
