The Kangaroos have put State of Origin animosity behind them in their quest for Four Nations glory.Queenslands win in this years interstate series ended in considerable animosity after NSW were accused of snubbing the Maroons victory ceremony.There were fears that ill-feeling would carryover into the Australian camp for the Four Nations. But ahead of Saturdays Test against New Zealand in Perth, veteran Australian and Queensland prop Matt Scott said that wasnt the case.It is unbelievable to be honest, Scott said.It probably has the best vibe of an Aussie team I have been part of.There has been no talk of Origin or anything like that everyone is getting on really well. There is a good mix of players.You will always see players that know each other really well naturally spent time together but there is certainly no division there.The vibe is really good. I cant fault the attitude of everyone that has come into camp. We have all really embraced this change to the Kangaroos that Mal has brought about and I am really looking forward to the next five or six weeks.After Josh Papaliis withdrawal due to an ankle injury on Thursday and Jake Trbojevics inclusion there are 13 Maroons players and 11 Blues players in former Queensland coach Mal Meningas squad.There is a new dimension in the squad with eight Test rookies. Maroons and Kangaroos fullback Darius Boyd said that while the animosity of Origin was good for the game, it didnt carry over into the Kangaroos squad.Every year there is always a bit of banter and a bit of fire during that Origin period and that is the way it should be. It makes for a great game and is why Origin is so special, Boyd said.But when you all come in here, at the end of the day there are things on the field that happen but everyone is close mates.
