The Reds have secured another Super Rugby win, beating the Kings by 13 points.
Final score
Reds 47
Kings 34
Easter Saturday sees the Kings travelling to Brisbane to play the Reds. Join The Roar from 3.05pm (AEST) for live scores and coverage as we cover this Round 8 match.
Both sides are coming off losses heading into today’s clash. The Reds lost heavily on the road to the Brumbies while the Kings were pipped at the post in a thrilling try scoring bonanza against the Force in Perth.
The Reds will be looking to get their season back on track, especially after a disappointing second half against the Brumbies while the Kings will no doubt want to continue with their attacking verve displayed last weekend.
The Reds have named a strong looking line-up, in particular the return of Quade Cooper at first five will have many fans breathing a sigh of relief. It has looked a problem position for the Queenslanders while Karmichael Hunt returning at fullback will provide more stability.
While the odds indicate the Reds should do this comfortably, the Kings will provide stern opposition with their in-form first five Lionel Cronje leading the charge. He will be looking to unleash the serious pace that the Kings possess out wide and dangerous counter attack so the Reds kicking game will need to be executed efficiently.
The main match-up to look out for will be Cooper and Cronje – the two first fives have plenty of skill to demonstrate and fans will be hoping we get to see their full arrays of talent today.
Prediction
The Reds will have too much firepower across the park for this Kings side, particularly up front and off the bench.
Reds by 20.
