Western Force v Reds: Super Rugby Saturday Preview

Western Force have been one of the surprise packages in Super Rugby Pacific over the first two rounds and they will look to maintain their perfect start to the campaign on Saturday when they host the Reds.

Only winning four games across the entire regular season last term, the Force have already achieved half that total in the opening two rounds of the 2025 campaign.

The Perth outfit have managed to edge two thrilling contests in the opening weekends and next they will be looking to cause another upset when the Reds come to HBF Park this weekend.

Force the great entertainers

Anyone watching a Force game this season can expect fireworks, with the side certainly putting on shows in the opening two rounds.

Coming from behind to earn a dramatic 45-44 win at home to Moana Pasifika in their opening game of the campaign, Western Force then went on to stun the Brumbies 45-42 in Canberra.

Scoring 90 points across their opening two games, the Force scored a total of 294 points across their 14 regular season matches last term.

The half-backs Nic White and Ben Donaldson have got the Force playing some great rugby and the hosts are 3.35 to pull off another win against the Reds on Saturday.

Reds look to bring Force back to earth

Having a fallow weekend for the opening round, the Reds got to kick start their campaign in Round Two with an impressive 56-36 win over Moana at Suncorp Stadium.

Next the Reds will have the Force firmly in their sights, in a fixture that has been kind to the Brisbane outfit in the past.

Winning seven of their last nine Super Rugby encounters with the Force, the Reds thrashed the Perth outfit 59-13 in their last meeting.

Averaging 48 points per game across their last four meetings, the Reds will fancy their chances of putting points past a Force defence that has already shown itself to be less than watertight in the opening rounds.

This game won’t be short of points and over 66.6 total points in the game is currently available at 1.91.
