Face the facts.....at this point Origin is so far ahead of test football its not funny. Suggesting otherwise is to have your head stuck in the sand.
No one is suggesting that International football is above Origin in terms of consistency of high performance matches all they are saying is that TODAY's match rates up there as a good game of football, which could be compared to being on the same level as SOME origin matches.
Its like how many said the ANZAC clash between Roosters and Dragons was up around Origin standard this year. Everyone knows Origin is better than NRL, especially in terms of consistency, but that was one of those games where there was a tight contest with plenty of passion and skill shown.
