On Wednesday at Suncorp Stadium game two of a three game series for the State of Origin was played. The State of Origin is a Rugby League competition where all of the professionals leave their respective pro teams to play for the state they are from. They either play for New South Wales (where Sydney is located) or Queensland (where Brisbane is located). This is pretty much the Super Bowl for Australia. It is a huge game. Queensland traditionally wins the series, however, they fell short in game .



They played really well and the Queensland Maroons won the game 26-6. An article about the game can be found here. We watched the game at a bar right outside the stadium. The atmosphere was amazing and the entire city was out going crazy for Queensland's victory.



We went out after as well and it was pretty awesome. The entire city was celebrating



There was also a pretty intense fight that broke out in the game. You can watch it here.
