JOC's first game of the season
Also that strengthens the u20 side:
Kiss made a twin decision to bring O’Connor into the 23-man squad and free 20-year-old Harry McLaughlin-Phillips to join the Australian Under-20s on the Sunshine Coast. McLaughlin-Phillips is now likely to play against the New Zealand Under-20s at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Sunday. -
I have decided I not sure how this game will go. I have Reds in my picks and on reflection, I perhaps am not as impressed with Reds win over Crusaders last week as some were. Was a well deserved win etc, but I have feeling a good Reds team wouldn't have let it be that close as I really thought Crusaders were fairly poor.

@Dan54 surely Reds at home will get the job done. Rebels have been fairly average of late and losing their centres from last week will hurt them.

Yep would think so really, just not entirely convinced about Reds is all.
