Queensland Country host the Canberra Vikings in round one of the NRC. Queensland Country finished in sixth position last season, winning just two and losing six matches. They will look to improve this year. The Vikings won seven of eight regular season matches and made it all the way to the final, going down 21-10 to Brisbane City. Can they go one better this time and end up NRC champions.
