[QUOTE="TRF_melon, post: 575016, member: 12250"] I'm looking forward to this game, however unbeknownst to most, the combined NSW-Qld Country team has seen a departure from tradition. This is not a traditional NSW/Qld Country team, rather an "Origin" based professionally chosen team. Of the 23 man team, 4 play for NSW Country, 5 for Qld Country, 10 have current Super Rugby contracts, and 4 play semi-professionally in Premier Rugby. See the team below. Whilst I appreciate the need for a good hit out and the gap between elite professionals and amateur levels perhaps increasing, it is a shame. It's a true shame to see so many players who were genuinely excited to play against the Lions in what would have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most of them. Regardless though, I'll be heading to Newcastle on Tuesday.
