The two lads have made up for a really great cause…

The National Rugby League in Australia has set up Queensland’s Nate Myles and New South Wales captain Paul Gallen to encourage men to talk about mental health issues.

The setting is a random car park and the mood is… well it’s awkward, very awkward.

The reason for the awkwardness is because these two lads pucked the heads off each other in a State of Origin match last year.

The tension adds to the hilariousness of the the video and the message is very strong, talk to each other, lads…

When we say they “pucked the heads off each other” it was mostly Gallen who was landing the punches…

Still, it’s great to see the two men put their differences aside for a good cause, fair play to them.
