The Western Force delivered a strong performance, defeating the Queensland Reds 42-19 at Suncorp Stadium. Franco Molina was a standout for the Force, scoring three tries, including two in the first half, which helped establish an early lead. The Reds fought back with tries from Tim Ryan and Joe Brial, but the Force maintained their dominance with consistent scoring. Ben Donaldson's accurate kicking added to the Force's tally, converting all but one of their tries. The Reds struggled with discipline, as Harry Wilson received a yellow card, limiting their defensive efforts. Late in the match, Filipo Daugunu scored a consolation try for the Reds, but it was too little to change the outcome. The victory marked a significant shift in momentum for the Western Force against their rivals.
