In a remarkable moment for Australian rugby league, Alex Johnston has solidified his place as the sport's greatest try scorer.
This historic achievement prompted an exhilarating scene at Allianz Stadium, where an ecstatic crowd, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, flooded the field just one minute into the second half during the South Sydney clash with the Roosters.
Entering the highly-anticipated match with 211 tries, Johnston was just one shy of breaking the long-standing record held by Irvine for 53 years.
It took only 31 minutes for Johnston to equal the record, followed by another 10 minutes to surpass it and secure his spot in rugby league history.
Receiving a perfectly executed flick pass from Latrell Mitchell, Johnston displayed his skill as he raced down the left side, scoring and bringing the Rabbitohs back into the game after trailing 12-0.
Excitement spilled over as fans rushed onto the field, but security was quick to apprehend one eager supporter in a Rabbitohs jersey before he could venture far.
Johnston's remarkable feat has sparked celebrations that will be remembered, making this moment, as one fan put it, "worth a million dollars."
