In the earlier Holden Cup match, it was a 22-18 win by South Sydney. That leaves the Rabbitohs in 11th on the table but only one point outside the top eight, while the Raiders remain in 12th.
Hello and welcome to a mild, but not frozen, Canberra Stadium for tonight's NRL encounter between the Canberra Raiders and the South Sydney Rabbitohs. I'll be with you for the entire 80 minutes along with a bit of pre-game news before we kick off at 7pm. The Raiders are desperate for a win to stay away from the wooden spoon, while the Rabbitohs need to keep in touch with the top four.
Some outrageous news from Canberra Stadium - Raiders great Alan Tongue forced to wait in line behind CT journo Jon Tuxworth at the canteen. Surely 200-plus games gets you a gold pass to skip the queues and have all the meat pies you can handle.
And we're off and running with the Rabbitohs kicking off in their away white strip, with the Raiders in their traditional lime green jerseys.
3min: The Raiders get their second penalty of the game and captain Terry Campese points to the posts. A bit of a surprising decision only 10m out. Croker throws it over. Raiders 2; Souths 0
6min: Injury concern for the Rabbitohs, with John Sutton on the ground being looked at by the trainer. Looks like a knee injury. It's got a fair bit of tape on it, and he's jogging his way back into the line.
