SPIRIT SEEKS RISING REDEMPTION IN SEMI-FINAL SHOWDOWN

[shasta]

I'll wager 400 quatloos on the Spirit

Quatloos. Are they portable shitters or something?

[The InnFORCEr]

Like the team too... but where's Burto? Injured?

Unfortunately that is the case, bit of an ankle issues from Dubbo. He is on a very strict rest and recover policy, nothing to dramatic though!

[Invictus]

One thing that I've been enjoying is the increase in the physical contest (at least in the games I have seen) as the NRC has progressed. There has been some good scrummaging contests as well, a facet of the game we really need to work on in this country.

This is probably my most anticipated game all year!

[eleypinkbit]

Rising all the possession and territory but Spirit get first points with a try

[eleypinkbit]

And a second converted try from Brache

[travelling_gerry]

Good start!

[eleypinkbit]

Rising have got a converted try now 8 - 13

[brokendown gunfighter]

we are getting monstered in the scrums though

[valzc]

Little errors are keeping the boys from scoring more- have given away too much free stuff to the Rising & need to tighten up composure. Great defence! Hope they sort out the scrum issue second half they're getting pushed around.

[eleypinkbit]

Converted try to Hoskins 8-21

[eleypinkbit]

Another try for each side now 16-29. Go Spirit!

[eleypinkbit]

Wykesy! Another try for the Spirit!

[eleypinkbit]

16-37 with 15 minutes to go in the game

[eleypinkbit]

Rising get one back 24-37
