Just thimking that but if we'd made the most of our superiority it wouldn't matter. Some sloppy in-field kicking and lack of concentration from the Lions.Chris in London said:16 v 15

Well it's the states of Queesnland v New South Wales. Queensland play in Maroon, NSW play in Sky Blue - both City colours. I'm always one to root for the underdog and Queensland - having had an unbelievably talented team in recent years - have won the last six series in a row, even though most are very close games. so I want NSW to win this one.citykev28 said:Caveman said:It does but you've got to remember reasons why. Part of that is because back in the 60s-80s Welshmen who wen to play league were hammered by the press and couldn't get jobs back in Union after going to play league. For a while they wouldn't even get jobs of any sort back in Wales. The French Govt banned rugby league, labelling it "a game for rogues" for a long while when it seemed RL was overtaking RU in France.
But the best rugby team of either code are the Kangaroos and the best rugby competition of either code is the NRL (RU players even say that!) and, for me, the best rugby spectical of either code - it's one of the best specticals in sport, full stop - is rugby league's State of Origin series between Queensland and NSW.
I never knew any of that, thanks. A really interesting post and has intrigued me. When is the State of Origin match, is it on Sky and is there any reason why I might want to support one team over the other?

Great try from the rugby league lad, Isreal Falou, there. On his way back to league when he gets a contract.
