*ARGUABLY the biggest State of Origin game in history on Wednesday 18 June as Laurie Daley’s Blues look to break Queensland’s eight-year series dominance;
* THE NSW Waratahs’ crucial Super Rugby blockbuster against ACT Brumbies on Saturday 28 June – a game that could decide if the Tahs finish on top of the Australian Conference. If the Waratahs earn the right to host the Super Rugby final, that game will be played at Stadium Australia on Saturday 2 August.
