An all-Australian encounter takes place in the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season as the Queensland Reds host the Western Force at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, on Saturday, 4 April. With valuable competition points and national pride at stake, this matchup promises a fiercely contested battle.

The Reds will look to make home advantage count at Suncorp Stadium, where their fast-paced, attacking style often thrives. Known for athletic forwards, strong breakdown presence, and creative backline play, the Brisbane-based side will aim to control possession and stretch the Force’s defense with tempo and width.

The Western Force arrive in Brisbane determined to challenge away from home. Renowned for their physicality, structured approach, and resilient defense, the Perth-based outfit will look to disrupt the Reds’ rhythm through set-piece pressure, disciplined tackling, and smart territorial kicking.
