NRC Grand Final 2015: Brisbane City vs Canberra Vikings

[Merrow]

Just be happy it's not Hoff or Paddy's son in charge.

Suppose you're right. Mark that down in your calendar as probably the only time I've agreed with you

Match 2 of 3 for the Day/Night.

Not enough Gold in the Vikings strip for me, so Brisbane City gets my vote.

Not long now.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Jordan Smiler has been named at 6 in the run on side for the Vikings on Foxtel.

Some mind games being played from the Politicians?

Great work there for the opening try.

Both opening tries.

Could be a high scoring match today.

Their coach didn't rule him out, said it would be up to him to play.

Frisby in after Butler doesn't hold onto him on the ground and he gets up and goes again.

McIntyre misses a relatively easy conversion. 13 - 10 to City.

 

[Ash]

Both scrums are fairly dominant on their feed, but the Vikings scrum looks a lot better.

Both teams have been pretty sloppy but the defence has also been pretty good.

 

[redstragic]

Pickle looking really good

 

[Hugh Jarse]

YC to #2 Vikings - R. Abel for lifting tackle in the KHunt.

He'll be back in the fray 8 minutes after oranges.

Yellow Card: R. Abel (Vikings (38))

 

[Ash]

Abel yellow carded for tipping Hunt after he offloaded the ball. Looked pretty fair on the replay, unfortunately for Abel and the Vikings.

City then don't find touch with the penalty. McIntyre has been really sloppy today.

 

[Ash]

Laloifi with some magic, grubbers ahead but the ball takes a cruel bounce in goal, he slips and misses it and the Vikings can clear.

 

[Ash]

Vaea gets a turnover and Powell kicks it out to end the half with City up 13 - 10 at half time.

 

[Ash]

Vikings scrum is on top, both lineouts have been a bit wayward with maybe the Vikings been a little worse.
