For all the non-Aussies on WAB, the State of Origin is a yearly best-of-3 series of Rugby League games between the New South Wales Blues (Cockroaches) and Queensland Maroons (Cane Toads). The game is called State of Origin because players are selected to represent the state in which they played their first senior football. Some players live in NSW and play for Queensland and vice versa.
Queensland has taken the series the past 4 years, from 2006-2009 and just beat the Blues in game one of the 2010 Origin 28-24.
Having spent a long time in Queensland just when I was learning to appreciate Rugby, I've become a Maroons fan and I'm hoping my boys take it this year as well, matching their own record for longest winning streak.
Good on ya, boys!
