I briefly thought we were done for the day, having watched a lot of rugby already, today. But here you go. Another one.

Really like those Tah jerseys.

Just tuning into this, how penalties has that idiot Vest given away?

Head highs seem to be allowed too. Weird.

That was a great team try from Foketi.

McReight bossed it. He was just let down by 14 anonymous performances from others.

Shine has come off Harry Wilson. Needs to pick his moments better.

He still has next to no footwork - he just trucks the ball up straight into contact.
