Queensland Reds v Fijian Drua,  1:05 pm

The Reds look to be hitting their stride at the perfect time, coming into this weekend off the back of a commanding win over the Western Force last week at Ballymore.

The side is set to be close to full strength, with only one change to be made in co-captain Jemma Bemrose returning to the starting side, with Zoe Hanna dropping to the bench.

Apart from still being unable to break their duck against the Waratahs, the Reds have returned to the competition with a flourish, picking up three victories in Fiji and Canberra before putting away a strong Force outfit convincingly at home – which puts them in good stead to make their sixth final and push for a maiden title.

However, if there is one team that knows how to play finals footy, it is the Fijian Drua.

The side has made every final since their arrival in the competition in 2022, with the pressure of knockout footy often seeing the side produce ther best rugby.

However, the Drua come into this clash with several injuries – most notably Josivini Naihamu (knee) and captain Vika Matarugu (hip), seeing changes in the centres and front row.

Anasimeci Korovata will come into the starting side alongside veteran Bitila Tawake, while Ema Adivitaloga and Vitalina Naikore will make up the centres – with the final changes coming in the halves, with Salanieta Kinita returning to flyhalf after being cleared from a concussion injury – with Kolora Lomani returning to scrum-half.

Sunday

NSW Waratahs v Western Force, 3:05 pm

Wallaroo Caitlyn Halse is set to make her long-awaited return to rugby after picking up a hamstring injury, being named as one of three changes on the bench for the Waratahs for their clash with the Force at Leichhardt Oval.

Ruby Anderson and Jade Sheridan complete the bench changes, with Michael Ruthven opting for an unchanged starting side that ended the Brumbies’ finals hopes last week in Canberra.

Should the side win, the defending champions will have the opportunity next week to go back-to-back for the first time since 2021 and pick up a sixth title.

However, they face a Force side that came within a whisker of being the first Aussie side to ever defeat the current champions, with the Tahs pulling a win out of the fire after the final siren in round two.

The visitors have lost their exciting Fijian sevens star Adi Vani Buleki, so academy stalwart Ngamihi Monk will come into the starting side – with Brooklyn Teki Joyce and Samantha Treherne completing the back three.

Georgia Cormick and Halley Derera have been added to the bench, completing the Force’s changes. Dylan Parsons has opted for an unchanged forward pack, as the Force look to make history and reach the final for the first time ever.
