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.
City v Country
Sunday Afternoon,ย Mudgee
A host of big namesย have made themselves unavailable for what will be the final City v Country clash yet there is still a wide array of talent on show in Mudgee on Sunday afternoon.
The big names start at the battle of the number ones, as Michael Gordon takes on Penrith captain Matt Moylan while Melbourne backs Josh Addo-Carr and Cheyse Blair - who tore apart St George Illawarra last weekend - will find themselves almost matching up on the other this weekend.
Paul Gallen returns from his representative retirement to lead the City side and will have Panthers enforcer James Tamou in his corner for this bout as they take on Storm hardman Dale Finucane and in-form Dragons big man Paul Vaughan.
A crowd of over 6000 people is expected in country NSW to farewell a one-time meaningful representative game. Last year, 74 points were scored in an exciting spectacle in Tamworth.
We could see a similar scoreline this season with the amount of attacking talent waiting in the wings.
Country by 6.
