State Of Origin - Game 1

The first 2017 State Of Origin match between the Queensland Maroons and the NSW Blues will be held at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium at 8:15pm tonight. The Maroons are being coached by former Queensland rugby league legend Kevin Walters, backing up for a second year after his maiden series win in 2016. NSW, meanwhile, are being coached by former Canberra, New South Wales and Australia captain Laurie Daley for the fifth year, who'll be looking to follow up the Blues' 2014 win. This means tonight's match should be really great, edge-of-the-seat footy well worth watching. Naturally, South Burnett footy fans will be glued to TV screens around the region. But several local pubs and clubs will also be getting into the State Of Origin spirit tonight with big screen telecasts if you'd prefer to share the experience with other fans. Venues you can drop into to watch tonight's game include:

• The Commercial Hotel in Glendon Street, Kingaroy
• The Carrollee Hotel in King Street, Kingaroy
• The Tingoora Hotel on the Bunya Highway at Tingoora
• The Murgon Services Club in Lamb Street, Murgon
