Show Preview
The Queensland Reds will hunt win number one against the Aotearoa runner-up Chiefs. Keep an eye on what should be match of the round right here on The Roar with live scores from 7:45pm (AEST).
After winning the goodwill and respect of Aussie fans with their excellent Super Rugby AU campaign, the champions have come back to Earth with a thud over the first Trans-Tasman fortnight. The 40-19 thumping to the Highlanders was partially attributed to a short turnaround and the hostile venue, but last week’s 63-25 disaster against the Crusaders was inexcusable.
The Chiefs have looked the most vulnerable of the New Zealand sides across the first fortnight, however, meaning this could be the best opportunity for the Reds (or any Australian team) to claim a win this season. They flexed their muscles against the Brumbies last week, but were incredibly lucky not to go down against the Force in Round 1 and will be wary of an ambush.
