State of Origin live scores, wherever Wednesday finds you
Origin is the biggest footy of the year, played at the least convenient time of the week. Kick-off lands around 8pm on a Wednesday - which for millions of people means work functions, night shifts, kids' bedtime and every other reason you can't be in front of a TV. Here's how to not miss a beat anyway.
The Origin problem
Because it's mid-week, Origin night is the night people most need a way to follow footy discreetly. It's also when the usual methods are at their worst: notifications arrive in bursts, and the group chat is 40 messages deep before you've unlocked your phone.
The series is only three games. Missing a decider because you were stuck somewhere is the kind of thing you remember for years.
Origin on your lock screen
Six Again covers every State of Origin match alongside the full NRL season. For an eligible followed match, a Live Activity on iPhone or a Live Update on Android can start shortly before kick-off when lock-screen scores are enabled and update as match data arrives.
- Download Six Again before Origin night.
- Follow the Origin match with one tap, or follow NSW or Queensland so an eligible match can start automatically when lock-screen scores are enabled.
- Glance at your lock screen whenever you like. On iPhone the score can also appear in the Dynamic Island, on Apple Watch and CarPlay; supported Android devices can promote it to a status-bar chip.
After the siren
Inside the app you get the full picture of the game you couldn't watch: the score worm charting every momentum swing, and the scoring timeline. Watching the replay when you get home instead? Turn on Avoid Spoilers and Six Again will keep the result hidden from you until you've seen it.
And it goes without saying on the biggest betting night of the footy calendar: there are no odds and no gambling ads anywhere in Six Again.
