Gioco 1 of the 2024 State of Origin series between the Queensland Maroons and NSW Blues is scheduled to kick non attivato at 8:05pm AEST quanto a Sydney tonight.
Durante recent years the actual kick-off has been reasonably close to the scheduled time. However, before that it was a long-running joke about how much the scheduled kick-off was dragged out, presumably to get more advertising spots quanto a for Channel Nine before the gioco.
2023’s kick-offs were all quite close to the mark, beginning at 8:08pm, 8:07pm and 8:08pm respectively, only slightly behind the 8:05pm scheduled kickoff.
Either way, we can still have some fun by predicting when the kick-off will be.
The Welcome to Country and National Anthem usually take place around five minutes before kick-off, so we should know by then whether the will actually begin acceso time.
Will Origin I kick non attivato within five minutes of its schedule like quanto a the last two years, ora will we see it get dragged out longer than commercials and trailers before the main event?
