Australia has won the Rugby League Ashes for the first time in 22 years, continuing their dominance with a 14th straight series victory over England since 1973. The match was marked by strong emotions, multiple sin-binnings, and a controversial try by Cameron Munster, but ultimately showcased the ongoing vitality of international rugby league.

In women's rugby league, the Gillaroos narrowly defeated the Kiwi Ferns 10-4 in the Pacific Championships. Abbey Church made a notable debut, stepping in for injured full-back Tameka Upton and scoring a try, as both teams prepare for the upcoming final in Sydney.

Kangaroos win first Ashes series in 22 years

After a 22-year hiatus, Australia has won the Rugby League Ashes, their 14th straight series win over the old enemy since 1973. And the Ashes remain sadly untouchable for England. The Kangaroos hop on over to Headingley now, looking for a series clean sweep, but Kevin Walters could make a few changes. Would be nice to reward some guys who, you know, I feel it's been a great connection amongst all the group. He might be forced into a change if Rhys Walsh is suspended for dangerous contact. The full-back was one of three Sinbins in what was a fierce encounter. The crowd react. They're loving it! They wanted aggression! Probably emotions and, you know, a bit fiery earlier. Probably got the best of both teams. After two penalty goals each in the first half, Cameron Munster broke the deadlock, but his try wasn't without controversy. It's an old-fashioned shepherd. We see in the NRL, whenever that happens, the play becomes dead. He's a pommy, isn't he? Of course he's going to be biased to his own team. We can sit here and dissect that as much as you want, but I don't think that was the reason why they lost tonight. The close contest showing many that International Rugby League still has plenty of life. It certainly has. We've got a lot of respect for the English game and, actually, all countries around the world. And, you know, today is a great component of that. They showed up and were ready to play and ready to fight. Matilda's star Mary Fowler showed up too for a special reunion with Nathan Cleary. Ted Roker, 10 News. The Gillaroos snuck home 10-4 against the Kiwi Ferns in the Pacific Championships. Abbey Church was excellent on debut, pulling on the full-back jersey for injured star Tameka Upton and managing to bag a try. Bringing forwards back through the middle. Now Jesse Grubbers. It's there for Penetani Gray. Oh, the P.E. Nicholas couldn't get it. And Abbey Church has a four-pointer on debut. The fixture, a dress rehearsal for next week's final in Sydney.
