NSW Aussie Blues

The State of Origin is an annual best-of-three series of rugby league football matches between the Maroons, representing the state of Queensland, and the Blues, representing the state of New South Wales. The State of Origin series is one of Australia's and the region's premier sporting events, attracting a huge television audience and usually selling out the stadiums in which the games are played. State of Origin series have a reputation as the toughest, hardest-fought rugby league matches played anywhere in the world.

History at Sydney Olympic Park

NSW have lost only one origin match at ANZ Stadium claiming eleven wins and one draw, quite an impressive record! The Blues have well and truly been dominant whenever they play Queensland at ANZ Stadium, a record which the Blues will proudly try to maintain in the upcoming series.
