State of Origin
The State of Origin series is one of the biggest events in Australian rugby league, pitting the best players from New South Wales against those from Queensland. This year's series is shaping up to be one of the most evenly poised in recent memory, with both teams looking strong and hungry for victory.
The History
Queensland's 3-0 series win over NSW in 2010 is the only sweep since 2000, highlighting just how closely contested this event can be. With both teams boasting some of the best players in the league, it's impossible to predict which way this year's series will go.
The Teams
New South Wales will be looking to build on their success last year, when they won the series 2-1. Led by captain Boyd Cordner, they have a talented squad that includes the likes of James Tedesco, Damien Cook, and Cameron Murray.
Queensland, on the other hand, will be hoping to reclaim the trophy they last won in 2017. With a team that includes the likes of Cameron Munster, Kalyn Ponga, and Josh Papalii, they have the firepower to cause an upset.
With so much at stake, this year's State of Origin series is sure to be a thrilling spectacle that fans won't want to miss.
