CHALLENGE IS SUCCESSFUL! but it is still FULLTIME. Queensland win the series.

HANG ON! WE HAVE A CHALLENGE! Blues trying to see if there was a strip.

Blues lost their direction on last. It was left to Junior Paulo. He just falls down with the ball. FULLTIME!

Cleary tries the early kick but it is taken by Queensland. ONE SET TO DECIDE ORIGIN. Here we go.

SET RESTART!

Blues push the ball on last. It gets to Yeo who kicks inside for Addo-Carr, he is taken out by the chaser. Checking if the winger is taken out.

Walker is being helped off with the cart. We hope he is ok. Game back on.

Not good news here. Cody Walker is down after some heavy contact.

PENALTY BLUES! It was a chaotic play. The ball bounced everywhere and the Blues got it back. Daniel Saifiti got into space and is taken down illegally.

BUNKER TIME! Tupou has walked one in. Checking obstruction.

PENALTY BLUES! Tackled without the ball.

Blues go short and it is taken by guess who.. Harry Grant. PENALTY BLUES though. Escort.

BUNKER TIME! Harry Grant might have burrowed over.

Blues tried to find something from their own end and Wighton throws it forward.

PENALTY QUEENSLAND! Even when the Blues get a break it comes back to Queensland. The kick for Capewell rebounds off a Blue then Frizzell dives on it. Maroons shoot for two.

Blues are having to defend for their lives here. Jake Friend toes through and JAC gets to the ball first. Dropout incoming.

PENALTY QUEENSLAND! High tackle against the Blues.

Blues have survived somehow again. They stripped the numbers left and it was passed over the sideline.

PENALTY QUEENSLAND! Blues tried to load up in defense and were caught offside.

RED LIGHTS.. NO TRY! It was much ado about nothing. Allan's contact was cleared. Cleary was diving for the ball and it will be a seven tackle set for NSW.

BUNKER TIME! Wow! Harry Grant has sparked the Maroons to a possibly try to start the half.

Here come the two sides, final forty minutes of footy for 2020! Here we go. Queensland have an imposing record when they lead at the break at Suncorp. 27 wins. 1 loss. Let's get it on.

HALFTIME! Queensland lead for the first time since 2017 - game three. We're set up for a massive final half of footy.

BUNKER TIME! Munster Magic might have put Queensland in the lead.

Last game it was NSW creating something from the scrum. Queensland sweep left off the set piece but the pass was wobbly and Val Holmes is sent over the sideline.

PENALTY QUEENSLAND! Cleary laid on the tackle too long. Queensland can set up now.

Munster chips one on last and Gutherson had to bat it dead. Dropout.

Queensland are starting to dominate the game. Blues have been forced to ruck it out every set and kicking from deep.

Looks like the star New South Wales fullback has to go off. That might be his night done. Isaah Yeo is ready to come on. Gutherson would be the likely fullback replacement with Yeo going into the centres. Queensland have a full set on the Blues line.

PENALTY NEW SOUTH WALES! Blues held firm. Daniel Tupou tapped it back to Wighton to dive on the ball. Tupou got up again and gets an offside penalty.

Back-to-back set restarts for the Maroons! Blues having to defend their line stoutly now.

Back to back errors from Queensland! Munster puts too much on the kick and it floats dead. PENALTY NEW SOUTH WALES!

BUNKER TIME! Blues might have stolen one here. Checking if Tedesco grounds it. If NO TRY, it comes back for an escort penalty.

PENALTY NEW SOUTH WALES! Jake Friend goes himself on last, dabs a kick straight into the stomach of Payne Haas. The Blues also get an offside penalty.

PENALTY QUEENSLAND! Crowding from the Blues defenders on Christian Welch.

BUNKER TIME! Queensland sweep it left on the last and Val Holmes might have flown in.

Both sides have tried to be aggressive at the start. Blues were pinged for offside though. PENALTY QUEENSLAND.

Wonderful rendition of the anthem from Casey Barnes which is the final act to get through and we're moments away from the decider!

Time for the final ceremonial events to kick off this final game! It is a packed house at Suncorp which awaits the two sides. Last shots of the Blues as they stride out onto the turf met by some massive boos from the home faithful. Queensland are next taking their time but swagger out looking to lift the shield for the first time since 2017.

Hello everybody! We've reached the end of the season (for real this time), the last game of Rugby League in Australia is Game 3 of State of Origin. New South Wales are searching for their third series win in a row in the hostile environment of Suncorp Stadium, against the underdog Queensland side. Wayne Bennett has rung the changes for the Maroons with the backline much changed as they look to quell the blue wave tonight.
