It’s another Origin miracle for Nine with State of Origin Rugby League NSW v Qld 3rd – Match (1st – 2,586,000) draws a big crowd across the night, adding big numbers to Nine News (3rd – 1,343,000) and The Block Sky High (4th – 1,343,000). Notably Seven don’t feature much at all allowing Ten to slide MasterChef Australia (11th – 747,000) and Offspring (16th – 635,000) in to grab a non-Rugby-League-watching market.
