Much has been made of the closeness of the Shute Shield in 2016, culminating in an historic win to Northern Suburbs at North Sydney…
Welcome to a big Saturday of NRC coverage, with the final game of the day between Brisbane City and Melbourne Rising. Join us for…
101-0. It sounds like a reasonable opening partnership. But no, it actually refers to the scoreline in a recent schoolboy rugby match in Sydney…
Remarks made by Jon Plumtree, the coach of the Sharks, back in August that the Australian conference is the weakest in the Super Rugby…
29′ 58-18 They shift wide, before someone is hit hard. The crowd liked that.

58-18 I think my last post disappeared?? Anyway, English in, and converted

They definitely get excited when City are on the attack. Unfortunately it’s not that often

25′ 55-18 Mel. TRY. And in the time it took me to write that last post, somehow the Rising have gone the length. Tom English about 15 in from the right hand sideline.

23′ 50-18 It’s starting to open up. Genia back on and sparks a break, before sending it to Kuridrani who chips back infield on about the 40. Frisby is nearly there, but Kamana (#23) clears up for Melbourne over the line.

50 in 20 minutes is a big ask. But they are 8 point tries I suppose

21′ 50-18 The stream is great, but I wish I had a replay. The Rising almost straight from the restart bust through on the left hand side. Make good inroads, before unfortunately knocking on about 35 out, midfield.

20′ 50-18 and Rising can raise their bats – the half-century is up. This is starting to get quite ugly for City

19′ 47-18 TRY. Melbourne almost looked like they wouldn’t make it with a great covering tackle in the far corner. But the ball was shifted back in and the try is awarded, despite the protests from City players

15′ 42-18. City actually starting to build some phases before #4 Kotze throws it over the sideline on about the Rising 40. Quick line, but we end up with a Rising knock on.

14′ 42-18 Frisby nice clearing up the grubber, before putting up a bomb down the right hand side. Just a little too long and the free kick is awarded.

13′ 42-18 Better scrum to City – they actually push the Rising back abit. Quick hands to Parker down the left hand side, and into touch on the 22.

11′ 34-18 Another penalty to the Rising. Against City #18. Another lineout 5 out

9′ 34-18 Timani off the back short side. Didn’t work. But another penalty against the City scrum. However, the Rising opt for the lineout. Talakai off for City, Kite (#18)

30′ 66-18 TRY Pat Leafa (#16). Even with the big hits from City, the penalty advantage still was there. Whistle goes, short-tap, and the Rising are over (again) about 10 out from the sideline on the left hand side. Conversion is successful.
