52,000 passionate fans will fill Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday night for the State of Origin decider between the Queensland Maroons and the New South Wales Blues.
Queensland, having won the first game 34-10 in Sydney, and New South Wales, victorious in the second game 38-18 in Melbourne, both have a lot at stake in this final clash.
The Blues enter the game as favourites, boasting a stronger and tougher pack led by halfback Mitchell Moses, who played a crucial role in their Game 2 victory. However, history favours Queensland, who have triumphed in all but two deciders at Brisbane in the past 44 years.
With key players like Reece Walsh, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, and the return of Kalyn Ponga, the Maroons are ready to leverage their speed and skill to counter the Blues’ physicality.
