Highlights: Brisbane City vs Melbourne Rising

Brisbane City thrashed Melbourne Rising 51-24 at home in round 7 of the NRC. It was complete one way traffic in the first half, as Brisbane City crossed for six unanswered tries to take a commanding 34-0 lead into the break. Melbourne Rising ran in two early second half scores to make it 34-12 and give themselves an outside chance. However, any hopes of a comeback were short lived as the hosts took control once more, scoring a further three tries before two late consolation scores for Melbourne Rising made the scoreline look a bit more respectable.
