State of origin (game I)

Rugby is the most popular sport in Australia. It's like the American football but the rules are slightly different. The main difference is that you can only pass backwards which makes it a little bit harder than American football.

Last night was the first game in the 2007 series of the state of origin which is one of Australia's premier sporting events, attracting a huge television audience and usually selling out the stadiums in which the games are played. Origin games have a reputation as the toughest, hardest-fought rugby league matches played anywhere in the world. It's a three match series between two states, New South Wales and Queensland (my state).







Queensland won the first game and the final score was 25-18.


Go Maroons go.
