This is the match we weren't supposed to have, but for one of the Cronulla Sharks or South Sydney Rabbitohs, it'll be curtains at the end of Saturday ...

He nearly nails it, but knocks the ball on as he tries to secure it! He took the odds to it there, Nicho Hynes. "Well that's a big play in that moment, isn't it.

Welcome to news.com.au's live blog of the NRL semi-final between the Cronulla Sharks and South Sydney Rabbitohs from Allianz Stadium.

Souths also lost Tom Burgess through suspension this week after his hit on James Tedesco. “He’ll be right to go tomorrow night.” It makes it 30-12 and making it harder and harder for the Sharks to mount a comeback. The Rabbitohs have injury troubles of their own as Campbell Graham will return for the match but need a pain-killing injection to get on the field. It's 12-0 and the Sharks are looking down the barrel of a straight sets loss to be bundled out of the finals – unless they can turn it around. Taane Milne crossed in the corner after quick hands gave Latrell early ball and he threw a pin-point perfect cut-out ball to put Milne in in the corner. A cross-field kick from Nicho Hynes was knocked back into the hands of Nikora, who crossed in the corner to open the account for Cronulla. It's taken just two minutes for the Sharks to get on the board with Briton Nikora scoring straight after the break. After scoring first in the second half, before the Rabbitohs immediately responded to make it 24-6, the Sharks needed to score. A bomb was knocked back by Ronaldo Mulitalo, caught by Briton Nikora and spectacularly passed behind his back for Ramien to go and score in the corner. The first half was an absolute nightmare for the Sharks as the Rabbitohs controlled the play from beginning to end. Both teams were in instant classics last week and it shapes up as another belter as the teams play off for the right to play the Penrith Panthers for a spot in the NRL grand final.

Lachlan Ilias certainly isn't afraid to put his body on the line. The young Souths halfback forces an error from Wade Graham. The Rabbitohs just keep turning up in defence, while the Sharks have enjoyed 61 per cent of ...

Briton Nikora scores for the Sharks and maybe this one isn’t beyond the boys from the Shire. There was a question mark over Ramien being onside for the kick so it goes up to the bunker and they rule him offside. It seemed the Sharks had hit back, Nikora throwing an absolute pearler of a ball behind his back to Jesse Ramien to score. That could be a massive source of intrigue over the next week provided the Bunnies go on with the job tonight. Cody Walker darts over, stepping inside Nicho Hynes to score the Rabbitohs’ fifth try of the night. Is that the try that sends South Sydney into a preliminary final?

A preliminary final against the minor premiers awaits the winner of tonight's clash, which kicks off at 8pm.

The Rabbitohs will need to be better than they were tonight, but they’re in with a real shake. The Rabbitohs and Panthers collide next week. Well folks, that’s all for week two of the NRL finals series.

Just six days after a brutal clash with the Roosters in Finals Week 1, South Sydney were a step above their opponents at Allianz Stadium, showing both ...

"We know how tough a job we have got ahead of us now and I was pleased as a coach to see how they were flipping their minds straight to the task that is coming up next week. I am really proud of their effort, I thought defensively we were outstanding again tonight and that will be important next week. It was a great show of strength and desire from Murray, against a quality defender in Dale Finucane. You know who you are, you know how you want to play, for semi-finals our defence just wasn't good enough so I won't be finishing this year feeling happy. We have been shuffling the decks over the last eight weeks, with guys in and guys out - and no consistency with training - but there's no excuse at this time. - Following a period where the game went end to end, the Sharks were the next to break 10 minutes from half-time, with the Rabbitohs moving the ball quickly to the right for Taane Milne to score.
