The 2021 State of Origin series is looming as an intriguing battle between an embarrassed NSW outfit and a surprising champion Queensland line-up. The Maroons were extreme outsiders last year, but showed that Origin is won with spirit and toughness rather than talent on paper.

No matter where you are around the world, as long as you have an Internet connection, you can live stream the intense State of Origin showdown online. There's a service built just for you that is inaccessible while you are in Australia or New Zealand, but is active everywhere else. It's called Watch NRL.
