The Reds take on the Blues at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane on Saturday 27 February 2010 at 10:40 SA Time. What do we make of this match… it is extremely difficult to predict!

The Reds have narrowly lost in week 1 and then put the mighty Crusaders to the sword… properly! They sport a new coach, some unfamiliar names and some has-beens (hell it sounds like the Lions), yet they seem to be properly prepared, motivated and very structured in their approach. Just shows you, some excuses just do not hold water.

Having had the recent history the Reds have had one tends to give them only a sideways glance, this year they might make us look and look again.

The once high-flying Blues seem to be only a mere shaddow of the Blues of old, but look at their squad and your eyebrows rise… stars a plenty. Why is it then that the look like whipping dogs in this year’s Super 14 with prospects only to beat the Force and the Lions?

Let’s back the poor kid on the blog who is trying to rise…. rise the Rubble Reds…. Reds by 4.
