State Of Origin 2009

[Ron Manager]

Less than 48 hours to go till State Of Origin game 1. The whole of Queensland seems to be turning Maroon...it's a bit like the build up to a World Cup back home with flags, balloons, posters etc up everywhere. Really looking forward to experiencing being here when it's on. The whole place stops apparently (once again, like when England play a World Cup match).

This will be the first one in a while that I've missed on the tv, about which I'm pretty gutted.

If anyone hasn't watched a game of rugby league before, Wednesday morning is the time to start...

Don't you get it streamed through work mate?

If I'm in our London office, we've got Setanta, but I'm in Madrid tomorrow. Doh!

An hour till kick-off.....Come On Queensland!

A 28-18 win for the Maroons. However a last second try made the scoreline look more flattering than it could have been. Game Two in Sydney should be interesting.
