The University of Canberra Vikings host the Melbourne Rising in round 7 of the NRC at Viking Park in Canberra.
The home side sits atop the overall standings with five wins and no defeats from their five matches.
The Vikings are coming of a comprehensive 63-37 away win over the North Harbour Rays a week ago. They will be full of confidence heading into this encounter and determined to maintain their unbeaten status and remain at the summit of the NRC standings.
The Melbourne Rising currently lies in fourth position with three wins and two defeats from their five games.
The visitors fell 31-21 away to the Perth Spirit in the last round and will be looking to get back to winning ways in this fixture. They will be looking to cause an upset which will give them a bit of breathing space from the chasing pack in the hunt for semi-final positions.
