State of Origin 2022

Post by Cheeses of Nazareth »

Anyone watching this? Final game just kicked off on Sky Sports Arena. Two players knocked out within first 1min 56secs. Very hard to watch. Every tackle is upper chest height. Brutal. So good to see Union move away from this.

Eddie Jones compared that match positively to the 2nd NZ vs IRL Test, saying it was the way to go for Union, in order to stop all the cards and ensuing game interruptions, and called for a big pow wow between coaches, refs and players this Autumn, when the SH teams are visiting the NH to deal with the "issue".

Forgive me but I think you have that the wrong way round.

Under "Odious Little Twerp" there is a photo of Eddie Jones.
