In what can only be a result of winter solstice grumpiness, old whingers around the country have taken offence at a photo of two females kissing on the lips after the women’s State Of Origin showdown on Friday night.

The National Rugby League has thrown its support behind women’s opponents Karina Brown and Vanessa Foliaki after a social media backlash from baby boomers who were upset with a photo of the couple kissing at the close of Saturday night’s game in Sydney.

Brown, the Queensland State of Origin captain, and New South Wales lock Foliaki have been in a relationship since they were both selected for the Australian Jillaroos representative side in 2014 – but their kiss didn’t even have that much tongue. Suggesting that most of the fans are upset about their mixed-state relationship.

While many fans were happy with the couple’s display of affection, others lashed out at the NRL for publishing the picture and in turn ‘sexualising’ the game. But hasn’t State of Origin always been kind of sexy?
