Home ground and cracking line up. You would have to say Vikings are favourites.
We will miss Higgers.

I think City will take this one out though.

Bloody good looking team from the Parliamentarians.

This could be a really tough game for both teams.

Hoping this will be an absolute cracker. The Vikings won't be able to have the slow start they've had over the last couple of games. City will murder them if they do.

It's probably not possible to just make these decisions on the fly but with the NRL and AFL finished, Fox Sports could do worse than throwing this game up on one of their 5 channels on Sat arvo. A likely GF preview, and well known names across both teams.

I tweeted them and got favourited by City and the Vikings but no dice from Fox Sports.
Not even the prospect of it being the biggest challenge in the history of the Horan-Little Shield could get them interested.
So if a random rugby fan can't get a major broadcaster to re-jig their program a day before a footy game in 280 characters or less then I'm fucked if I know what will.

Why would they bother. They didn't show the ITM Cup last night which was the final Ranfurly Shield match. Was 36-30 to Waikato in an absolute thrilling game yet they couldn't be bothered to show it. Disgrace for the 'Home of Rugby'.

Meat pie to Jarrad Butler after 3 minutes. C Lilo missed conversion. Vikings lead 5-0 after 6 minutes.

10 minutes: Pettowa Paraka barges over from about 10 metres out to open the account for City.

Converted by McIntyre. Vikings 5 Brisbane 8 after 11 minutes.

Handling is letting both sides down. Quite a few tries have gone begging.

Lineouts a bit of a lottery as well.

No change to the score after 26 minutes. CAN 5 BNE 8

Huge clearing kick from Sam Talakai. From just inside his 22 metres line, he hoofed it out to the opposition 10 metre line. Good skills from a pot plant.
