It goes against the grain but for the first time in his life Gordon coach Darren Coleman will be barracking for the Reds in Super Ruby.
But there’s good reason for it.
Coleman is desperate to replace two of his Gordon guns who have gone down with season ending injuries with Rhys Brodie rupturing his Achilles and Ola Tauelangi doing his medial ligament.

LISTEN: Most beautiful dressing room song ever?
“Props are usually big so I’ve been parking outside every KFC in Sydney,’’ he laughed.
An easier proposition would be to have Super Rugby gun Charlie Abel available to return to the club if his Melbourne Rebels side is beaten by the Queensland Reds in the preliminary final on Saturday in Brisbane.
“Robbie and Jake (Abel) are back but Charlie is still with the Rebels.
“I’ve never cheered for the Reds but I will this week.’’
