The 2023 Women’s State of Origin series is set to turn up the heat in rugby league, with live coverage coming to you from Sydney on Channel 9HD and 9Now at 7.30pm AEST this Thursday.
This year’s series is poised to raise the profile of women’s rugby league even higher as it expands to a two-game series. Both games will be played in prime time slots, airing on June 1 and June 22.
The New South Wales Blues are geared up to defend their title, boasting a formidable line-up of NRLW stars including Millie Boyle, Emma Tonegato, Isabelle Kelly, Jessica Sergis, and promising newcomer Jesse Southwell.
Facing them in an intense rivalry will be the Queensland Maroons, led by veteran player Ali Brigginshaw. Queensland’s backline brings the firepower of Tamika Upton and Zahara Temara, aiming to accumulate the points needed to win the series, which will be decided on an aggregate points basis.
Nine’s coverage of the Women’s State of Origin series will be hosted by Danika Mason, with expert analysis from Phil Gould, Allana Ferguson, and Darren Lockyer. The commentary will be provided by Peter Psaltis, with Emma Lawrence providing updates from the sideline.
