Victoria and the All-Stars have confirmed their captains for Friday night’s State of Origin bushfire relief match.
Dual Richmond premiership skipper Trent Cotchin will lead the Vics while Fremantle champion and two-time Brownlow Medallist Nat Fyfe will captain the All-Stars.
Fyfe was named captain of the 2019 All-Australian team and has skippered the Dockers since 2017.
Victoria coach Damien Hardwick and All-Stars coach John Longmire made the announcements when addressing their respective sides ahead of the clash.
Cotchin and Fyfe will lead their teams out in front of an expected sell-out crowd at Marvel Stadium.
