The second of the semi finals is between Canterbury Bulldogs and South Sydney Rabbitohs. The opening kick will commence at 7:45pm local time with the match being played at ANZ Stadium in Sydney. View our live NRL scores and results.
After starting the year with a moderate record of five wins and five losses, the Canterbury Bulldogs secured the 2012 Minor Premiership by winning thirteen of their final fourteen matches.
Despite this impeccable form, they went into the first week of finals as underdogs against Manly.
They showed then that they weren’t affected by the big stage and come from behind to record a 16-10 victory, demonstrating the kind of focus and commitment required in finals football.
They earned the week off last week and have named a fully fit squad to take on the Rabbitohs.
