00:00 Today is the day.
00:03 The 2024 State of Origin Series kicks off between the NSW Blues and the Queensland Maroons
00:09 here in Sydney.
00:11 Both teams participated in captains' runs yesterday afternoon inside the Olympic Stadium
00:16 and are making their final preparations for the game this morning.
00:19 The Blues have just completed their traditional walk over to the stadium from their hotel,
00:24 with the players appearing in good spirits ahead of the match.
00:28 As for the Maroons, here's what they had to say earlier this morning from their temporary
00:32 home in Parramatta.
00:33 Game one is huge and for us being away it's enormous.
00:38 We obviously know in the back of our mind we get back to Suncorp game three but we need
00:44 to do the business in these first two games to make sure we go home with something to
00:49 play for.
00:50 So enormous amount of weight put into tonight's game.
00:57 The game kicks off at 8.05 tonight and is expected to be watched by 80,000 fans inside
01:03 a sold out Sydney Olympic Stadium.
01:06 Go the Blues!
