State Of Origin

The third (and final) 2024 State Of Origin match between the Maroons and Blues will be played at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium from around 8:10pm tonight. The Maroons, who were ranked as underdogs going into this ultimate annual competition, scored a pretty convincing win in the first round. But they were comprehensively thrashed by the Blues in the second round, which produced a 1-all draw. So both teams will be hoping for a win tonight to secure this year's crown ... and that should produce some pretty incredible rugby league action on the field. Throughout if you want to enjoy the match with mates, or you can stay at home out of the chilly winter weather and watch all the action on free-to-air TV.
