State of Origin
Last night JD and I watched the entire 1st installment of the State against State, mate against mate game of Rugby League.
Football was definitely the winner - and of course Queensland.

JD knows nothing about the game having grown up in Germany. And I know quite alot about the game (Go the Roosters!), but chose to give it up as a form of entertainment for the last 15-20 years. I found it a massive waste of time, and it just seems quite neanderthal really. Far too rough for my liking. Anyway, it was actually fun watching it together, and JD now knows what a knock-on, converted try, scrum and biffo are - all really important stuff to know for chats around the coffee machine at work.
Another hilarious fact about State of Origin: This year they're celebrating 25 years but it is in fact 26 years. It started in 1980. Do the math! Channel 9 apparently pointed this out to the Rugby League and they chose to ignore this fact. It pretty much sums up the game.
