It's a glorious day in Melbourne for the game, I'm hopeful it will be a good contest and Rising will rise for the win.

Cottrell at lock?

 

[Brumby Runner]

Again. Played there a couple of weeks ago and was the prime target in the lineout which he performed to his credit. Better at lock than Sam Ward was yesterday. Indeed, Gus is not such a bad fill in if there's a vacancy at lock, but Sam should just stay at No 8.

Anybody else having trouble getting the stream?

I think the game is only 'on demand,' a shame

I think the game is only 'on demand,' a shame

They're usually either on a fox sport channel or live streamed... This game is neither live on fox or on demand. The same thing happened with the BCity NSWC game last week. Fox sports has too much of a monopoly to care unfortunately.

What does on demand mean?

 

[Blackadder]

I have an account and it is down for me

 

[Blackadder]

What does on demand mean?

Fans demand to see the game and fox ignores them

 

[footy1>31]

Means they will upload a replay at some point in the future

vui and sandal still can't scrummage

 

[Blackadder]

7 all

 

[Blackadder]

Rising embarrass rays scrum again. Back to back penalties for Rays go for a scrum which they suck at and Rising wins it against the feed. Light and mobile vs real forwards.

John Folau steamrolls out wide and scores 14-7 Rays
