Lismore Rugby Club will host the Byron Shire Rebels on Saturday in Round 7 of Far North Coast Rugby.

After a break for the NSW Country Championships, the competition resumes with the Lismore side feeding a relatively unchanged lineup this weekend.

Andrew Jordan comes into the side in the second row and is the only major change, after coach Angus MacDougall has settled on a regular side.

The Rebels currently sit in second spot on the ladder behind leaders Ballina, and it will be a tough task for the home side but improved defensive efforts in recent weeks have shown the Greens can match it for periods with the top sides, they just need to put a full 80 minute performance together.

The day will kick off with Reserve Grade at 1:00pm, the Women take to the field at 2:20pm, in what should be a close encounter and First Grade will start at the regular time of 3:15pm.

In the match of the round, Richmond Range will host Evans River in what should be an entertaining match. Only 1 point separates the two sides on the ladder, with both sides evenly matched in recent years in the Presidents Cup competition.
