Often considered the pinnacle of Australian rugby league, State Of Origin is one of Australia’s premier sporting events, often played in front of sold-out stadiums. The series itself is contested between New South Wales and Queensland, who have formed an epic rivalry that has seen the series produce the toughest and most skilful Rugby League in the world. Since its inception in 1980, the results between NSW and QLD have been extraordinarily even, adding further emphasis to the competition’s success. Overall the Maroons have won 21 series compared to the Blues 12 heading into 2013. In the 2013 State of Origin series the two sides go into Game 3 at ANZ Stadium tied at 1-1 in the series. With NSW looking to end Queensland’s seven-year series winning streak, the decider is shaping as one of the most-anticipated matches in State of Origin history.
