I was thinking that Origin games kick off at 8:05pm sharp, but unfortunately the game kicks off a few minutes later than scheduled advertised time. Does anyone know why State of Origin games kick off later than scheduled?
The game starts later than 8.05pm due to the national anthem and TV commitments. Actual play commences at 8.15pm.
Hope this helps.
