Broncos KICK-OFF! Here we go!

Here come the Roosters onto the 'GABBA turf having been told to bowl first. They are in their white jersey with their blue and red vee. The Broncos stride confidently after their final words in their Brisbane City kit looking to cement their spot in the top two and possibly end the Roosters finals hopes.

Back to this game. Both teams were comfortable winners in their games last week. Brisbane have firmed themselves in the top four and a possible top two finish and will eye off a big win here. Well for the Roosters, the equation is simple, just keep winning. They lapped the Titans in the first half last week and will want a repeat dose again in the sunshine state. Grab all your drinks, snacks and everything else. Don't forget the remote for the big night of sport.

Good evening everyone! It is a masssssive night of sport for Australians. We have Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters played at the 'GABBA while not far down the road at Lang Park, the Matildas have their second group game against Nigeria while over in the old dart Australia look to finish off the Ashes series with a bang at the Oval.
