Congratulations to @rhysemartin who today joins John Wilshere as PNG's highest appearance maker in Full Internationals.
Last Saturday saw the zenith of International Rugby League (so far): 10 Full International matches played in a day for the first time, with games as varied as PNG-France (women), Norway-Italy (men), Greece-Jamaica (women), Wales-USA (men).
This weekend isn't much less frenetic!
For anyone wondering about an update list of England Heritage Numbers, below is the list of players awarded during the 2020s.
@Katzo60 @NoHelmetsReq
Fun fact: across their men's and women's squads for @rugbyleaguewcup @England_RL have just one player from the champions of their respective comps (Liv Wood from @YorkValkyrie)
It will probably surprise no-one to know this was the first (and last) DG of Paul Vaughan's first-class career 😀

RECORD = OBLITERATED
Connor Robinson's 12 successful goal kicks today sees the scrum-half set a new world record for most consecutive successful goal kick attempts with 52!
And he's not finished yet!
Congratulations, Connor! 👏🙌

He's done it! Congratulations Connor 👏👏👏
AND THE NEW WORLD RECORD HOLDER!!!
Connor Robinson's second successful conversion of the day makes it 42 consecutive goal attempts for the scrum-half!
Congratulations, Connor! 👑

All eyes on Connor Robinson tomorrow to see if he can break the world record for consecutive goals kicked. Currently he's on 40; he needs to kick his next goal to tie the record.

If you're not one of the 1,000 subscribing to this feed already, you should be.
Chances are, if you like what we do, you'll love @MikeMeehallWood's work.
When I started on Substack, I didn’t set goals - I just wanted to write what I wanted to read.
Rugby league writing that was analytical, both on-field and off, that didn’t take itself too seriously and didn’t talk down to readers.
Even so, I would never have expected it to reach 1,000 subscribers, let alone within a year.
If you’ve liked, commented, shared, subscribed or simply read along, thanks.
All four rugby league knights now appropriately recognised on the RKC website.
All honoured RL players, chivalry & military, should be recognised soon (we're just working on the solution).
Possible world record incoming next weekend...
Connor Robinson of @Doncaster_RLFC now has 40 out of his last 40 attempts on goal. @totalrl @Forty20LIVE @rlworld @RL_RKC

@LondonBroncosRL have a shot at another record today V. @WidnesRL. No team in history has won 6 consecutive first-class games by >50 points. They have tied @NWCrusadersRL who did it in 2006; will they beat it today?

Congrats to @Joshuacharnley on becoming the highest scorer in the SL comp today. He's now up to 21st on the all-time chart, 18 behind 18th placed @Ryan5Hall, with Paul Newlove & Mick Sullivan separating them.
We can confirm that @BatleyRLFC secured a record score at the weekend with what has now been confirmed as a 108-10 win
The score was officially recorded as 110 by the match officials & was widely reported, but the @TheRFL have now accepted 14 goals were kicked, not 15

Credit Roger Thompson & Philip Haley for their diligence here, and @LorraineMarsden for support in ensuring the change was accepted.
