--------------------
Usual deadline. If the Australia and NZ coaches can post their sides ASAP, that'll make everybody else's jobs easier.

Grapes of Nanking v New Zealand Churr Bros
New Zealand have produced an early shock in round twenty, the side not only besting red-hot Nanking, but squashing them 20-0 in an unheralded defensive display. The away side have been under caretaker guidance since their last coach disappeared unexpectedly, and things finally seem to have clicked today in the side's most promising showing in months.
Grapes: None.
New Zealand: Kallum Watkins, Shaun Kenny-Dowell, and Tyson Frizzel. Hunt 4/4
HT Score: 0-8
Dally M: Jesse Bromwich (Bros) 3, Tyson Frizzel (Bros) 2, and Ben Hunt (Bros) 1.

New England Celtic v Roma Vandali
Roma's impressive run has come to a grinding halt today, the Italian side being blown completely off the park in a one-sided second half in chilly Armidale conditions. The red hot Vandali looked set to cause another upset when they lead 10-6 at halftime, but the home side put together 26 unanswered second half points to record a much needed 32-10 win.
New England: Morgan Escare 2, Mike Cooper 2, Danny Houghton, and Gareth Widdop. Brough 4/6
Roma: James Roby and Shaun Lunt. Thurston 1/2
HT Score: 6-10
Dally M: Mike Cooper (Celtic) 3, Chris Hill (Celtic) 2, and Danny Brough (Celtic) 1.
Crowd: 29,324
Shenzhen Sharkitohs v Multiple Scoregasms
The Multiple Scoregasms have scored a dramatic come from behind victory in today's visit to fortress Shenzhen, the soon-to-be-relocated Victorian side coming from 18-6 down at half-time to score an emphatic 26-24 win over the Chinese juggernaut. The Scoregasms very nearly kept Shenzhen scoreless in an impressive second-half showing, with Kevin Locke's 78th minute try a consolation for the stunned Sharkitohs.
Shenzhen: Kevin Locke, Sam McKendry, Shaun Johnson, and Nigel Plum. Parker 4/5
Multiple Scoregasms: Daly Cherry-Evans, Josh Hodgson 2, and Konrad Hurrell. Cherry-Evans 5/6
HT Score: 18-6
Dally M: Jonny Lomax (Scoregasms) 3, Josh Hodgson (Scoregasms) 2, and Daly Cherry-Evans (Scoregasms) 1.

South Canberra Knights v Sydney Vipers
Sydney have confirmed their place in this year's finals series and cast serious aspersions over South Canberra's credentials this afternoon, the NSW side humbling their capital counterparts 38-18 in front of a disappointed but not surprised Canberra crowd. The home fans had cause for hope when their side lead 12-10 at half-time, but a halftime spray from the Sydney coach worked minor miracles.
South Canberra: Ryan Hall and Tim Mannah. Mantelleto 5/5
Sydney: Antonio Winterstein, Tom Briscoe 3, Reece Robinson, and Dan Hunt 2. Croker 5/8
HT Score: 12-10
Dally M: Dan Hunt (Vipers) 3, Michael Shenton (Vipers) 2, and Jarrod Mullen (Vipers) 1.

Quahog Quagmires v Ipswich Reds
Defense wasn't something on display in today's clash between also-rans Ipswich and Quahog, but it was the struggling Queensland side who laughed loudest in a somewhat surprising 42-26 defeat of a Quahog side fighting desperately to sneak into the top eight. The win gives Ipswich hope of avoiding the wooden spoon, while Quahog are looking extremely unlikely to make a finals appearance in their first season.
Quahog: Roger Tuivassa-Sheck, Tim Smith, Jack De Belin, and Dave Taylor. Richards 5/5
Ipswich: Richie Mathers, BJ Leilua, Albert Kelly 3, Lee Mossop, and Ian Henderson. Chase 3/3. Bosc 4/4.
HT Score: 20-12
Dally M: Rangi Chase (Reds) 3, Ian Henderson (Reds) 2, and Adrian Morley (Reds) 1.

Raymond Terrace Tanks v Brisbane Bulls
Fans in the Hunter today were left singing the praises of Greg Inglis after the superstar near singlehandedly guided his side to a share of the spoils in an enthralling 19 all draw with front-runners, Brisbane. The Queenslanders looked to have the game well in hand with an 18-0 halftime lead, but two tries to Inglis and a Broughton special had things locked at 18 all going into the final five minutes. Adam Reynolds' cool-headed field goal looked to have staved off the fight-back, but Inglis proved equally adept as he piloted him his own one pointer from just inside the Bulls' half.
Raymond Terrace: Jodie Broughton and Greg Inglis 2. Gidley 3/4. Inglis 1 fg.
Brisbane: Matt Moylan, Kevin Sinfield, and Adam Reynolds. A. Reynolds 3/4. A. Reynolds 1 fg.
HT Score: 0-18
Dally M: Curtis Rona (Bulls) 3, Greg Inglis (Tanks) 2, and Adam Reynolds (Bulls) 1.

Machu Picchu Llamas v Mu'a Saints
There were no real surprises in Mu'a's visit to South America today, although things looked a little shaky for the Tongan outfit as they limped to a 12-10 halftime lead before putting the foot down on their way to a 28-10 win on the road.
Machu Picchu: Steve Matai and Nathan Peats. Lyon 1/3
Mu'a: Peter Fox, Michael Jennings, Corey Norman, Cooper Cronk, and Justin Horo. Norman 4/6
HT Score: 10-12
