The Canberra Raiders will play their biggest game in more than 20 years when they host a preliminary final against the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the nation’s capital. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the match online and watching it on TV.
Set to be played at a sold-out GIO Stadium, kick-off will be at 7:50pm (AEST) tonight.
The Raiders made the preliminary final by surprising the Melbourne Storm in Week 1 of the finals, earning themselves a week off in the process.
The Rabbitohs, on the other hand, lost their qualifying final to the Sydney Roosters, but bounced back last week with a tense come from behind victory over the Manly Sea Eagles to make their way into the third week of finals footy.
