Lismore will travel to Casino on Saturday to clash with the Bulls in FNC Rugby Union.
The Bulls have recruited well and have strong international flavour to their side and are experiencing their most successful season in recent years.
Lismore will be looking to cause an upset on Saturday and will be looking to tighten their defence after leaking big scorelines in recent weeks.
The Greens have shown they can score points but have been outmuscled in clashes against the top sides this season.
Coach Rodney Pita has been able to name a fairly consistent team over the past month or two and will look for these combinations to work in both attack and defence.
The Women will take on Casino in what should be a highlight of the day with both teams sitting at the top of the table.
Lismore have not named their leading tryscorers in Chloe Sivewright and Madison Coppola, which could be a blow for the teams pointscoring abilities.
The First Grade match will start at 3:15pm, with the Women kicking off at 2:20pm.
