050. New South Wales v Queensland – State of Origin

16 May
 

The side to play Queensland at the State of Origin opener next Wednesday May 21 has been announced.  For many players being selected, in one of these sides, is the pinnacle of their career.  It is the dream of every young school boy to be selected to put on the jumper and play in this series.

In the NSW side the following past NSWCHS stars will be playing:

Jarryd Hayne (Westfields Sports HS)
Mark Gasnier (Peakhurst HS)
Greg Bird (Rutherford Technology HS)
Willie Mason (Toronto HS)
Peter Wallace (Blaxland HS)

In the Queensland side to play NSW we have:

Greg Inglis (Hunter Sports HS)
Israel Folau (Westfields Sports HS)

Good luck to the players in their endeavours on Wednesday at the ANZ Stadium.  With all the talk and hype about this match it promises to be a passionate and aggressive game.  NSW will be out to avenge last year’s 3-0 series defeat.
