The NRL will return to Sky Sports on March 11 but first up are the All Stars matches this Saturday.

The Indigenous All Stars face the Maori All Stars in a double header this Saturday at Townsville’s Queensland Country Bank Stadium, with the women’s match getting underway at 6:35am (UK time) and the men’s game following that at 9:05am (UK time), with both games being shown live on Sky Sports Arena.

David Kidwell’s Maori side claimed a 30-16 victory over Laurie Daley’s Indigenous team last year.

The likes of Latrell Mitchell, Jack Wighton, Cody Walker and David Fifita will feature for the Indigenous side, with the Maori squad having players such as Benji Marshall, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Jarome Luai and Issac Luke at their disposal.

Former Warrington women’s captain Roxy Murdoch is set to feature for the Maori team.

And the 2021 NRL season then gets underway on March 11, with Sky Sports showing three games from the opening round.

Sky Sports will show Melbourne Storm-South Sydney Rabbitohs, Sydney Roosters-Manly Sea Eagles and Penrith Panthers-North Queensland Cowboys in the first round.
