Rabbitohs Head Coach John Lang has named his strongest line-up for his side’s final pre-season match for 2010. The Charity Shield is recognised as the premier pre-season Club match on the NRL calendar, with last year’s match attracting over 25,000 Members and supporters to the annual fixture. The NRL game kicks off at 8pm with the Toyota Cup match commencing at 6:05pm. Gates will open at 6pm. Proceeds from money raised by the Rabbitohs on the night will go to Souths Cares, helping to fund their community programs they operate throughout the South Sydney and Coffs Harbour districts.

The Rabbitohs will be wearing the OCRF ‘Silver Ribbon’ on the front of their jersey during the Charity Shield.
