Anzac Day’s feast of football continues with the Brisbane Broncos hosting the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Lang Park. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7.30pm (AEST).

It will be interesting to see how South Sydney bounce back tonight after last week’s narrow one point defeat to the Bulldogs.

Having led for over 70 minutes of the contest, the Rabbitohs failed to hold out a fast finishing Bulldogs outfit en route to a tough defeat.

Such a defeat would have frustrated Rabbitohs fans immensely given that South Sydney were on the mend after two straight wins.

The loss to Canterbury however in front of a big crowd once again raises questions about South Sydney’s ability to produce their best form on the big occasion.

The Rabbitohs face another litmus test of sorts when they clash against Brisbane in front of another big crowd at Suncorp Stadium.

Brisbane are coming off a convincing 32-6 victory over the Knights away from home and will be tough to stop in front of a big home crowd on Anzac Day.

The head-to-head battle between Greg Inglis and Ben Barba should be terrific to watch, as will the battle in the forwards.

Broncos forwards Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker, Matt Gillett and Ben Hannant are all in strong form at the moment and will tough to stop at home.

Rabbitohs big men George and Sam Burgess, Ben Te’o and Chris McQueen will all have to produce solid shifts tonight if South Sydney hope to match a physical Brisbane pack.

Tonight’s contest promises to be a well contested affair. Both teams are fairly evenly matched across the park with neither holding an obvious advantage over the other.

While the Rabbitohs will certainly ask Brisbane questions, the Broncos at home should rise to the occasion and secure a tough win.
