Brumbies to win @ 6/4

Having lost 34-31 at home to the Reds earlier this season, revenge might well be on the minds of the Brumbies players going into Saturday's Super Rugby Pacific showdown.

Although the Reds claimed victory and bragging rights in Canberra back in March, the Brumbies have generally held the upper hand in this rivalry.

They had won the five meetings prior to that loss at GIO Stadium and have consistently proven to be a tough opponent for the Reds.

The Brumbies have also travelled well against Queensland, winning their last three away fixtures against the Reds by an average margin of 14 points.

Given their record in this fixture, especially on the road, a Brumbies victory gets the thumbs up.

Corey Toole anytime tryscorer @ 11/10

Currently in impressive form, Brumbies winger Corey Toole stands out in the anytime tryscorer market for this clash in Queensland.

Toole has scored tries in each of his last two matches, against Fijian Drua and the Hurricanes, and the 26-year-old is well priced to continue his tryscoring run this weekend.
