It’s going to cool down considerably tonight at Suncorp, but it’s still steamy enough for both teams to deal with.
There will be a lot of tired bodies by the end of the night. Aren’t we meant to be into autumn?
I have been banned from whinging about the humidity by my colleagues in the sports department. Completely fair feedback.
It would be akin to Australians sooking about rain and grey skies in Belfast.
Last year, they were champions, this year, the Blues just cannot get a win.
They have just finished up in Hamilton going down 32-31 to the Chiefs, after also losing last weekend by a point to the Brumbies at Eden Park.
The Waratahs face them right at the very end of the season, when we can absolutely expect them to have found some form. But who would have predicted this start?
Teddy Wilson starts tonight at halfback for the Waratahs and my esteemed colleague Iain Payten has explained why.
With Waratahs captain Jake Gordon injured, the former Australian schoolboy boxing champion has a rare opportunity to start and relish the opportunity.
It’s not an easy gig for any 9 at the Waratahs, Gordon and Jack Grant are both impressive operators leaving opportunities scarce to get onto the field. Wilson gets his chance tonight in Brisbane and his father David, the former Queensland and Wallabies legend will be watching on.
Good evening to you all, it’s Jonathan Drennan and I will be taking you through tonight’s action from Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
Ahead of Australian rugby’s oldest rivalry, the Waratahs are three from three and will look to extend their unbeaten run against the Reds who are coming off a 24-point defeat in Christchurch to the Crusaders.
Alongside providing interstate bragging rights between the players, this contest could also be billed as part of the extended interview for the Wallabies coaching role.
Most people go into the final stages with a powerpoint presentation to land the gig, the Waratahs Dan McKellar and the Reds Less Kiss will settle for a convincing victory. Although, if reports are to believed, Kiss is the man with the job to lose. Let’s see.
The Reds are also boosted by the brilliant news that world-class flanker Fraser McReight is staying until the end of 2028.
A huge signing not only for Super Rugby, but for Australian Rugby.
