Both regular season games were excellent so hopefully the final is similar.
I think a crowd of 40,000 expected which would be the biggest crowd at an Aus Super game in a long time (probably 2015 Tahs v Highlanders semi final would be the last game with that sort of crowd).
-
And it looks like Channel 9 is going to run the game on their main channel, which is great news.
These two teams always put on a show so hopefully it's a great game.
Paisami is a massive loss for the Reds, but the Brumbies losing Samu and Slipper makes that more or less even.
Reds will probably squeak it but hope it's a great game.

@barbarian where is Vunivalu? I thought he would have been back by now..
-
@canes4life Still injured I think
-
Here's hoping the Reds win. While the Broncos suck it would be a massive boost and they play a more attractive style than the Brumbies.
-
Great crowd in for this one.
-
That Brumbies hooker Lonergan looks a good talent.

-
Some of these camera angles are cool. Wish we had these in NZ.

Tupou would be a less destructive scrummager if Berry noticed he packs with his arse pointing at the sideline.
-
Reds are really missing Paisami in the midfield. They currently have no one to get them over the advantage line.

Finally.

Bullshit penalty. That was a great cleanout.
-
Reds really struggling with that small midfield pairing.
