Australia prepares to host historic NFL blockbuster

0:00A List-Nuff Production Hey there I'm Lauren Howarth. Excitement is building for the first regular season NFL game ever hosted in Australia. The LA Rams and San Francisco 49ers will go head-to-head in front of a packed MCG this morning. Ben Graham, who is the first Aussie to play in a Super Bowl, says it's going to be a great match. The other Rams are coming in as favourites, but the 49ers have been here all week. They've acclimatized. Both teams are stacked on offense and defense. The federal government's moving to stop aged care providers from charging residents unreasonable fees. Plenty of Aussies have been stuck paying a higher everyday living fee for services they were previously receiving at no extra cost. And today marks 25 years since 9-11. Next to 3,000 people died in the September 11 terrorist attacks, including 10 Australians.

1:00Finals footy kicks off tonight with the rabbit-o's and knights going head-to-head in an elimination match at Aliant Stadium. South Sydney will be boosted by the return of Talis Duncan, while Matt Duffty has been named at fullback over Jai Gray. As for Newcastle, Dom Young and Tyson Frizel both return from suspension. And Edson understood Bronco's star, Reese Walsh, who is part of the kangaroos extended World Cup squad despite being injured.
