This year’s RNRL QinetiQ State Of Origin Match will be part of the Petersfield Armed Forces Day celebrations

RNRL are extremely grateful to Petersfield Rugby Club and Chairman Stuart Barden for hosting this unique event, a first Armed Forces Day for the Hampshire town of Peters field and a return ‘down south’ for RNRL QinetiQ Origin.

The day will be packed with events happening to involve the Petersfield Community as well as the players in the Origin fixture.

RNRL is also proud to confirm there will be an Origin Vets match ahead of the main event and will feature some of the best known names from the 20 year history of RNRL, coming to Petersfield at their own expense, to relive past glories and maybe settle a few old scores!
