ONCE again rugby league is fuelling tension within the community pharmacy sector, as NSW prepares to host Queensland in tonight's State of Origin clash.
Marking the start of the three-match series, Pharmacy Guild of Australia National President, Trent Twomey, kicked off the annual mate versus mate rivalry with a Facebook post this morning simply saying, "good morning everyone (except the NSW Blues)".
The sentiment was backed up by the Queensland Deputy Premier, who commented that he "couldn't have said it better".
Defending his home State, Guild NSW Branch President, David Heffernan, joined the thread wishing the "beautiful NSW people" a good morning, and posting a photo of Guild leaders at a meeting, including Twomey sporting a light blue shirt - although it is not clear if the photo was taken today.
The Guild President's wardrobe faux pas was quickly noted by former Australian College of Pharmacy President, Georgina Twomey.
Tonight's clash will kick off at 8.10pm (AEST) for those wanting to ensure they miss the pre-match hype.
