Sydney, NSW -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2012 -- We are now just a few days away from the kick-off of this year’s State of Origin series. The legendary Rugby League competition has been opposing New South Wales Blues and Queensland Maroons for more than 30 years. Rightly considered as the highest-level of rugby league played anywhere in the world, League’s and probably sport’s greatest rivalry is about to begin for our greatest pleasure.

Game 1 and game 2 will take place respectively in Melbourne and Sydney, but the highest expectations are placed on game 3 as the Suncorp stadium of Brisbane will be the set of the final – and most furious - act of the 2012 series.

Being the last game of a best-of-three series, whether the series already has a winner or State of Origin 3 is the decider will have little importance: Blues and Maroons both desperately long for supremacy on the most renowned Rugby League contest. The fight will be even fiercer on the New South Wales side, as the Blues have been dominated by the Maroons in the last years and will surely do anything it takes to prevail this year on Queensland soil.
