State v State, Mate v Mate!
The inaugural State of Origin carnival was held in London as part of the ANZAC Sports Challenge on Saturday 22 April, 2006.
The 3 competing teams were Victoria, Western Australia and the Allies. Amazingly South Australia didn't turn up! (probably having too much fun in Australia's partying capital, Adelaide).
