It is a balmy 11 degrees in Edinburgh, after all.

Some of the Saddleworth lads will be suffering from heatstroke.

That's nowt, it's 12 down here in 'ull. Sat watching the game in me pants..!

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Enjoying it thus far.

Hope to watch St Pats v IRB on YouTube Sportsman later. Thanks to whoever posted that it's on.

That should be a cracker of a Cup tie.

Keni Dakuidreketi is big, busy and hasn't run out of steam yet, unlike some big lads from RU. A real handful.

And, as I type that, he misses a tackle and Saddleworth score. Ho hum.

"Wears number 22 because its the only 3xl shirt they've got!"

This page? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live-guide 

Second line, in the "recommended" section.

It may have updated or, maybe, we get different recommends?!

12-12 with 32 mins gone.

It was like that about an hour before I posted the link, because that's where I double-checked the start time. I initially looked in "Coming up" without success before realising I'd scrolled past the actual link.

Note to self - type "Ctrl+F rugby league" before assuming the worst.

Rather like the iPlayer for finding sport, that page is an absolute dog's dinner. I'm sure all most people want to know is what is being broadcast live and at what time, instead we get that really weird arrangement.

It wouldn't be the first time I've missed something but I thought I'd checked properly.

Anyway, the link is now on the front page of BBC Sport.

It used to be sorted chronologically, so you could find stuff really easily. A really good site that I'd check almost every day. Now it is an absolute mess and often inaccurate.

That Saddleworth try - very light on his feet for a guy who looks like a prop.

Edinburgh Eagles 12:18 Saddleworth Rangers at HT.

Ronnie Corbett's alma mater, according to the commentary.

Did Dave Woods say “It’s wonderful to be here”?

Good match up this one.

I've never seen that before! Kicking off without the ref on the field!

There have been attempts to provide a similar service for all sports, which I would find very useful. But the ones I've checked out just don't put in the hard work, so you can never trust them to be comprehensive.

By the way, if you find something that he hasn't listed, however obscure, don't hesitate to use the email link and inform him. He does sterling work, but can't be on top of absolutely everything.

Bit of a wake up call in the second half for Edinburgh as Saddleworth start to pull away.

I usually like Dave Woods commentary but he’s really irritable today. He’s focused on reading pointless tweets and isn’t concentrating what is happening on the pitch. The amount of times he’s called it wrong is embarrassing 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Right, gotta go out, been very enjoyable so far, great to see the cup back!

Fair point.

20:30 on 65 minutes. Not a massacre by any means.
