Show Preview

Though the Brumbies have a home quarter-final locked in, they’re chasing a crucial top two finish when they play the Reds in Canberra. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 7:45pm (AEST).

The Brumbies are third on the ladder, and won’t drop any positions if they were to lose. However a win, along with a Jaguares loss, would boost them to second.

History has shown that finishing in the top two is crucial if you want to win the competition, so the Canberrans will have plenty of incentive to get the job done tonight.

As for the Queenslanders, they’ve nothing left to play for, barring pride, this year, with wins few and far-between. They’ll see this game as winnable though, having beaten the ACT side in their last meeting, a round 6 thrashing, 36-14.

Last season was a six-win season, and a victory tonight ensures their best season since 2013, when their 10 victories took them to the quarter finals.

The Reds are the Brumbies bogey team, claiming three of the last four encounters dating back to round 16, 2017.

The Brumbies make four changes, with Tom Cusack being rested for this game, bringing Jahrome Brown on instead, with Lachlan McCaffrey coming in for Pete Samu.

Tom Wright will run out on the left wing, and Scott Sio replaces James Slipper at loosehead prop.

The Reds bring Lukhan Salakaia-Loto into the backrow, which knocks Angus Scott-Young to number eight, and drops Scott Higganbotham to the bench. Harry Hockings slots into lock instead of Angus Blyth, in the final starting change for the Queenslanders.

Caleb Timu returns to the 23, as does Sefa Naivalu, in a boost for the hosts.

Prediction
The Brumbies should secure the win against an iffy Reds side.
