Last week there was Sport and then there was daylight.
Well that was a huge week in Sport…..
On Sunday last week 3 million# Australians watched the Socceroos defeat Türkiye 2-0, a thrilling start to their campaign in the FIFA World Cup. It instantly became one of the biggest audiences of the year.
But just days later, 4.29m Australians watched the Queensland Maroons defeat the NSW Blues in the State of Origin II -the biggest audience of the year, and the biggest Origin since VOZ began.
Another 2.91m rose early on Saturday to see Socceroos defeated by USA.
