Watching how upset Horwill got at the last minute loss to the Waratahs brought back to me how hard fought the NSW v Queensland matches used to be.
We have such a mix of players from all states playing for whoever pays most or offers a job. For a franchise to make out there is a state v state match going on is hard for me to understand as I watch Berrick Barnes and Drew Mitchell lining up with the Waratahs.
Once a season we need a NSW v Queensland Match and to keep Sheek happy, it should be in traditional colours without sponsors on the uniform. It should also be able to encompass overseas players if available, so that we get the best of the best in a grand contest in the best traditions of Queensland and NSW.
Would be great if somewhere down the track a WA v Melbourne game could be added. I don’t think the ACT would ever have enough home grown players to make up a team.
I would love to watch this game and hopefully we can define it differently to the rugby league state of origin although that is a great and logical competition.
