12 Differences living in Queensland compared to NZ.
1. Kiwi pies are definitely better. Rugby players confirmed this to me on rugby tour to NZ.
2. But KFC in Brissy is way better than Auckland KFC.
3. Optmistic vibes v pessimistic.
4. Unions stronger in Aus.
5. Rugby league is everywhere and they sign up players young like 14 years!
6. Rugby union talent leave for league after GPS 1st XV-most players signed up by NRL clubs.
7. Sunnier and warmer, but stormier.
8. Lots of Kiwis here are only Warriors fans. Im a Broncs -making a comeback...
9. 50 cent bus and train fares all across Queensland.
10. More Samoans live here compared to other states...just don't see them where I live..Kalofae apparently all down south.
11. And when you do see a islander they don't say hi or acknowledge they just walk on by as if you didn't exist. Ghost chips fellas...
12. Maroons all day — Just way better.

Yep

If you're looking for another example of why Queensland understand Origin better than NSW, the shabby treatment of axed forward Haumole Olakau’atu is just another prime example.

First, he suffered the indignity of arriving in camp for Origin II believing he was in the team, before later being told he had been dropped.

But then, someone within the Blues camp REALLY threw him under the bus.
