It’s official. State of Origin is coming to New Zealand.
We catch up with Sir Graham Lowe, the only Kiwi to coach Queensland, after the massive announcement that Game Two will be played at Eden Park. Lowe calls it the biggest moment for rugby league here since the Warriors were born, and he’s not exaggerating.
We talk expansion, tribalism, what makes Origin different to anything else in sport, and why Auckland could end up feeling like Queensland territory. Plus, how much it actually costs to bring a spectacle like this across the Tasman and why it’s an investment that’ll pay off in spades.
If you’ve never experienced Origin live, Lowe says you simply haven’t seen anything like it.
