The Rhinos showed their fighting spirit to get a 3-2 win after trailing 2-1 at the halftime break but this weekend will be a different challenge altogether when they take on the top placed team in the competition.
So far this season the Canberra FC side have only dropped three points in a game against their arch-rivals Canberra Olympic three rounds ago.
In the meeting between the two sides at Deakin Stadium back in April, the Rhinos looked like they might be able to take a draw before the home side scored two late goals.
The Riverina side will be boosted by the knowledge that they will be able to name an unchanged line-up with no new injuries or suspensions.
The first-grade game will be the final of five games at Solar Mad Stadium getting under way at 5pm.
