North v South Just watched the first of The State of Origin matches - annual three game Rugby League series between New South Wales and Queensland, and biggest games of the year. Players are selected to play for the state in which they played for their first senior club, and its basically north v south. Who would your North v South football teams be? Note its which club the player first represented which determines if they are northern or southern, not where they were born.
