3) Have we found the New Zealand answer to State of Origin?
Yes we have: it's New Zealand versus Samoa.
This is just my opinion of course, but at the same time New South Wales take on Queensland, a Kiwis/Samoan series should be an annual event.
I have now been lucky enough to commentate two of the three internationals between the nations and both have been memorable.
Last year's battle in Warrington and last Sunday's clash in Whangarei were wonderful contests; incredibly physical, and importantly given plenty of passionate support by the fans.
Be it a two- or three-game series, it may just put an end to players chopping and changing allegiance between nations and make State of Origin a less lucrative option for Kiwi or Samoan eligible players.
The concept could only be considered with the support of the players and fans. Based on last Saturday, we are well placed to take the first steps.
Ideally, schedule Test matches between Australia and the Kiwis and the Samoans to follow Origin, and we could be on a winner.
What do you reckon?
