Nine rounds into the NRL season and the representative season is upon as.
Tradition rivals Australia and New Zealand will go toe to toe in Canberra on Friday night, with three Pacific Tests to take place on Saturday before City Origin takes on Country Origin for what will be the final clash between the two sides on Sunday.
England v Samoa
Saturday Night, Campbelltown
The trio of games concludes with England - as always, represented by the Burgess brothers - taking on Samoa.
Thomas and Sam Burgess will be led by Sean O'Loughlin in a squad that includes Chris McQueen, James Graham and Chris Heighington as they come up against Joseph Leilua, Josh McGuire, Antonio Winterstein and Anthony Milford.
Enforcer Sam Kasiano and Mata'utia brothers Peter and Sione are also included in the squad set to take on Wayne Bennett's men.
England has shown steady improvement since Bennett took over the squad last year and will be looking to build on that heading into the World Cup later this year.
England by 12.
