Sadly, this story turned out to be a hoax.

To'o gets a late one to set a try-scoring record, but it's scant consolation for the Blues.

Tom Dearden may have just decided the PotM award.

Did Mitchell just injure himself doing that gratuitous piece of sh'housery to the Hammer?

Meanwhile, at GIO Stadium in Canberra.

They were talking about how Shibasaki could be this year's Adam Mogg. Well, I believe the former is off contract at the end of the season, so maybe he'll end up at Catalans too.

Origin is one of the Rugby League events that's still being clung onto by Channel 9. So Foxtel (the Australian version of Sky) do their own full pre-match and post-match shows, but can't broadcast the games live. They do record their own real-time match commentary for later broadcasts.

I have the Merlin app and I think you have to accept that nothing will be entirely accurate when it comes to bird calls. You can also use the app's visual verification if you actually spot the bird. An unexpected bonus is that if there's something making a really really noisy and irriitating racket, my experience is that starting the app and selecting the "listen" option usually silences the bird permanently. Overall, I think it's a good app, especially for casually curious people who aren't habiltual birdwatchers.

Please don't make this thread unreadably toxic like most of the others. If you want to have a squabble, do it in your own space.

Lost connection with 5 minutes left. Finally got back in to see the last play. Well done, Leeds.

B*gger me bawbag, what a try!

Read the last two pages of did/didn't/did/didn't/did/didn't/did/didn't/did/didn't/did/didn't/did/didn't and you'll be none the wiser.

Is that three more or less nailed-on KR tries blown by forward passes already?
