The State of Origin series kicks off on Wednesday bringing the annual state vs state, mate vs mate battle to Townsville after lockdown restrictions in Melbourne meant the game couldn’t take place there.

The match will see the Queensland Maroons attempt to hold onto the trophy after defeating New South Wales in the third game last year 20 to 14.
