This week in rugby league sees two of the biggest matches on the rugby league calendar take place, with both sides of the world hoping for some blockbuster matches.
As we know, the Challenge Cup Final between Hull KR and Wigan Warriors takes place on Saturday, but also this week is the opening game of the NRL’s State of Origin series between New South Wales and Queensland.
In what will be a three-game series, the Blues (NSW) will be hoping to regain their title after the Maroons (Queensland) took the spoils last year.
Both the men’s and the women’s Origins games take place this week, as well as a regular round of NRL matches, so there is plenty of action for you to enjoy across the rest of the week.
