Queensland Maroons vs New South Wales Blues Preview

It shapes to be the biggest game of the year, with a sell-out Suncorp Stadium hosting the State of Origin series decider.

After the Maroons shocked the Blues in Sydney, New South Wales hit back with an emphatic 44-12 victory in Perth to force this mouth-watering decider at the spiritual home of Origin.

Not since 2005 have the Blues won a decider in Queensland, with the last five such contests going the way of the home team.

Payne Haas has been replaced in the Blues’ starting side by debutant Jacob Saifiti after a hamstring injury ruled out his original replacement, Jordan McLean.

Brad Fittler has resisted the urge to change the new centres pairing that served the Blues so well in Game 2, with Jack Wighton named as 18th man.

Queensland has been struck down by COVID-19, with Cameron Munster and Murray Taulagi to be replaced by Corey Oates and Tom Dearden.

Furthermore, with Felise Kaufusi (personal reasons) missing, Tom Gilbert will join the 17.
