Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Matt Burton will feature for the Prime Minister’s XIII on Sunday at Suncorp Stadium, the same ground where they were involved in a heated battle during Origin.

Tino Fa’asuamaleaui has revealed how he and his family were subjected to shocking hate online following this year’s brutal State of Origin decider in Brisbane, in which he put Matt Burton in a headlock as he was set upon by Dane Gagai.

Fa’asuamaleaui was fined 20 per cent of his Origin match fee for two separate charges involving Burton, but did not expect the barrage of abuse that followed.The Sun-Herald“I was a bit shocked [by the Origin reaction]. I copped a lot of hate online after that night – my family copped a lot – and it was quite full-on, to be honest. I won’t go into too much depth, but it was pretty disgusting.“You don’t mind it when they come after me, but it’s more when they come after your family.

“We spoke about it after it happened – we’re teammates now and I’m looking forward to getting out there with him,” Burton said. “But it’s not on when families are being attacked. He’s been great all year and it’s great to have him in this side.”
