Reds stun Blues 35-21 as defending champs face Super Rugby playoff danger

The Queensland Reds have made a statement in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific by beating the Blues 35-21 at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.

With only four more matches to play for the Blues, the defending champions are at serious risk of missing the playoffs altogether.

Tom Lynagh helped the Reds race out to an early led, with the fly-half running in two tries inside the first 10 minutes.

While the Blues began to dominate possession, the match changed once again after the visitors went down to 14 men.

It was only a seven-point game at the break but the Reds ran away with it, scoring three tries to two.

In another match yesterday, the Chiefs thrashed the Force 56-22.

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua take on the Moana Pasifika at 4.35 in North Harbour this afternoon, the Highlanders face the Crusaders at 7.05pm while the Brumbies take on the Hurricanes at 9.35pm.
