Round 13 showcases yet another huge clash between two teams who love to run the ball, as the Queensland Reds take on the Sharks at Suncorp Stadium. We’ll have live scores and commentary from 7.40pm AEST.
The Queensland Reds have had a tricky past few rounds.
They drew with Aussie counterparts in the Brumbies and the Force, and completed a clean sweep over all the New Zealand teams with a hard-fought win over the Blues.
The Reds have looked to run the ball at almost every opportunity but have still suffered from a lack of five-pointers, something that they will be looking to change this weekend against the ninth-placed Sharks.
The Sharks have had a hard season so far, having lost as many games as they have won.
They too have shown a want to run the ball relentlessly, but have slipped up when faced with tough opposition.
This could be one for the ages, as two sides desperate to score tries meet at a ground that has seen its fair share of them. Expect fireworks.
This is a tough call. I’m expecting a high-scoring game, but based on form and a growing aggression in the sides, I think it will be a close one.
The Reds should have enough in the tank to hold on against the Sharks attack, and will get the win by less than seven.
