Reds v Brumbies: Super Rugby Saturday Preview

The Brumbies should be fit and fresh for Saturday’s trip to Brisbane as they prepare to face the Reds at Suncorp Stadium.

It’s been a busy start to the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific campaign for Stephen Larkham’s side but they got a much deserved bye week following their 34-27 victory over the Highlanders in Round 7.

The Reds meanwhile go into this game on the back of a 27-15 in Hamilton at the hands of the Chiefs and will be happy to be back in the familiar surrounds of Suncorp Stadium for Saturday’s showdown against an Aussie rival.

Reds with a point to prove

Losing all of their last three Super Rugby Pacific encounters with the Brumbies, the Reds might well feel like they have a score to settle in Brisbane this weekend.

The Reds are currently the highest ranked Australian team on the ladder, with five wins from their opening seven games of the season.

Head coach Les Kiss has made the Reds a resilient side and they have not lost back-to-back games since Round 8 in the 2024 campaign.

The Reds to respond from their defeat to the Chiefs and win on Saturday is available at 1.61.

Brumbies search for consistency on their travels

Alternating between wins and losses across their last six games away from GIO Stadium, Larkham is searching for more consistency on the road.

A good win over the Highlanders last time will have boosted confidence in the Brumbies camp, while the week off will have also come at a welcomed time.

The Brumbies, who have started their season with four wins from their opening seven outings, have had two weeks to prepare for this trip to Brisbane but, despite their recent record in this fixture, the Canberra outfit are the slight underdogs at 2.37 for the win in Queensland.
