**********
Kia ora, good evening and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of this NRL round 15 clash between NZ Warriors and Canberra Raiders from Canberra's GIO Stadium.
After last week's convincing victory over the Dolphins, the Warriors have a golden chance tonight to knock over another top-eight contender.
The Raiders sit one place above the Warriors on the ladder - sixth, with eight wins and five losses. Meanwhile, the Warriors are 7-6, with three of those losses coming in a troublesome 11-day stretch.
After Rocco Berry's concussion last weekend, they have handed a debut to 20-year-old Ali Leiataua - nephew of club great Ali Lauititi - to start in the centres, after impressive form in the New South Wales Cup.
His inclusion is the only change to the side that outclassed the Dolphins, as the Warriors settle on consistency.
Meanwhile, the occasion will be an emotional one for the Raiders, with club captain Jarrod Croker playing his 300th game.
We've also got a reunion on the cards, with Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad returning to Canberra for the first time, since moving back across the Tasman this season.
Victory tonight could see the Warriors climb as high as fifth on the ladder, while defeat and other results going against them might see them fall as low as 10th by the end of the weekend.
