The NRL’s representative round is here, with international football, men’s and women’s Origin matches and junior representative matches on a nine-match program.
While all 16 NRL clubs take a breather, things kick off at Belmore on Wednesday evening with Lebanon to play Malta, and run all the way to Sunday evening when the second game of the men’s Origin series will be played between the NSW Blues and QLD Maroons.
Women’s Origin on Friday night has quickly become a centrepiece of the weekend, as have the Pacific Tests, with New Zealand and Tonga in Auckland on Saturday afternoon one of the most highly-anticipated matches in recent times.
Junior representative fixtures – with men’s and women’s under-19s Origin – also make their return to the calendar, with both games to be played on Thursday evening at Leichhardt.
