Experience favors Blues over Reds
The Blues have already had to experience the pressure of a playoff match this season and most of the team has experience in winning in 2003 or 2007.
However for the Reds none of the players have played in the semifinal as they hope to end their 16 year waiting to win the super rugby title.
The Blues boast an impressive pack with 201 Test caps between them.
The Reds pack has only 45 Tests to their name.
That experience and their in-form set piece should be enough to give the Blues dominance in this area.
Rain is forecast in Brisbane tomorrow night, but neither of these teams is likely to alter their attacking styles on account of the weather.
The Blues takes on the Reds tomorrow at 9.40pm and on Sunday morning at 3.05 the Stormers host the Crusaders.
