quicko: state of origin

I'm really not a sporty person, but today everybody seems to be talking about the State of Origin, which is on tonight.  I think I've probably mentioned it before -- it's an annual rugby league one-off game (think like the baseball All-Stars game) where players play for either the state of Queensland or the state of New South Wales -- depending on which state is their state of origin (i.e., where they're from).  I guess theoretically I'm cheering for NSW, though I won't actually be watching the game (die hard fan, hey?).
