RECAP: Reds v Rebels

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our coverage of the Super Rugby AU semifinal between the Reds and the Melbourne Rebels in Brisbane.

ADVERTISEMENT

The Reds are undefeated against the Rebels in Super Rugby AU and picked up a 19-13 win in their last encounter (Round Seven); they’ll be out to clinch back-to-back wins against the Rebels for the first time since winning their first six meetings in the competition from 2011 to 2013.

This will be the Rebels’ first appearance in a Super Rugby finals campaign, while the Reds have reached the knockout stage for the first time since 2013; though, they’ve not won a finals game since their triumph over the Crusaders in the 2011 Final (18-13).
