Hey there. I hope you liked the episode. Message me and tell me your thoughts. Cheers. Conway The Australian Rugby League's State of Origin competition is iconic, but how did the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the South West Pacific during WWII, US General Douglas 'Big Mac' MacArthur, and his ego have an impact on this competition.
