My Prediction
Queensland Reds by 11Alright, folks, we're coming up on a solid bruising between our very own Queensland Reds, sitting pretty on 4 wins and 1 loss this season, and Western Force, trailing slightly behind with a 3-3 record. I imagine Western Force fans are getting a headache just remembering last May's showdown, when the Reds rampaged through with a whopping 59 to 13 victory. It's like watching a gazelle tangle with a lion, isn't it?
Fast forward to recent games, with Western Force managing to pummel the Fijian Drua 52 to 15. Impressive, sure, but the Reds aren't exactly sitting idle, knocking out NSW Waratahs 35 to 15 and keeping a steady performance since then.
If we flip through the pages to past matchups, the Reds have mostly been in the driver's seat, taking 2 out of 3 matches. But let's not forget that wild 40 to 31 game in March 2024 where Western Force managed to yank the wheel. And let's take a second to mourn the bookies whose hearts must have surely skipped a beat on that one.
But when it comes to their positions in the standings, with Reds ranked #3 and Western Force lagging behind at #7, you've got to bet that the Western Force wishes they could Force push themselves up a few spots, right? Yes, folks, I can use a Star Wars pun in sports commentary, I checked.
So, what's the dice roll going to show us? Given the Reds' historical performance, superior record, and higher ranking, I see the scales tipping their way. But by how much? Put your earmuffs on if you're not a Reds fan.
