The return of the NRL is right around the corner, beginning with the Harvey Norman All-Star game.
This February, the league's top talents will do battle representing the Indigenous All-Stars and the Maori All-Stars, ahead of the 2024 NRL season.
Each team will wear jerseys adorned with art from their respective cultures, as the Indigenous All-Stars look to claim their second-straight win.

The Indigenous All-Stars jersey was designed by artist Jakita Saunders, from the Wakka Wakka and Widi nation.
Saunders won a nationwide contest to design the jerseys, with her artwork that represented the connection of the Indigenous community to the land, and to each other.
"I wanted it to not just connect to country, but to football," Saunders told the NRL.
"Connecting all the main rivers and waterways like that's our one connection, all the mountains and coral reefs connecting all the salt water tribes.
"I couldn't help but just break down and cry [when I was told], knowing that my artwork was going to be on our football heroes"
