In a tightly contested first half, the University of Canberra Vikings take a 21-8 lead over the visiting Melbourne Rising into the break. It has been a fairly even encounter, with a superb length of the field try on the stroke of halftime giving the home side some breathing space. The Rising are not out of this one, all to play for in the second forty.
