Representative Side

The Queensland state team, known as the Maroons has played interstate representative matches against all other Australian states, as well as selecting State of Origin teams as both Queensland and later as part of a combined "Allies" side.

In inter-league matches since 1991, Queensland has defeated both Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, and has performed well against more accomplished states such as Western Australia without winning.

The Queensland under-18 representative side is known as the Scorpions.

Famous quotes containing the word side:

    “But to most of us society shows not its face and eye, but its side and back. To stand in true relations with men in a false age is worth a fit of insanity, is it not?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
