Match Centre

WHAT A VICTORY! WHAT A SERIES. QLD have pulled off a miracle series victory. Where's the Origin shield that's in QLD... QLD's everywhere.

NSW go short but it's too long. QLD will run out the voluntary tackles.

Can NSW pull off a miracle

TINO! BIG SHOT ON TUPOU

Big take from Dane Gagai

Kick doesn't work for the Blues. Another set closer to victory for Queensland

Another set closer to victory. Sit back and enjoy this one, as my good friend Nat Sinclair said - this has rebirthed Origin footy

NSW finally get it out of their own end... but Corey Oates returns it straight back inside NSW territory.

DCE grubbers and it's taken by Tedesco. NSW can't drop the ball.

Patrick Carrigan ruled to have passed that ball there.

Short dropout fails. Valentine Holmes saves the game and potentially the series for the Maroons

Matt Burton is tackled in-goal. Line dropout coming up

IT SMELLS LIKE 2020! Harry Grant snucks over... But hang on, we have a bunker review for grounding. Nathan Cleary's arm is under the ball according to Grant Atkins. The ball remains up and it will be OVERTURNED

Brian To'o recovers it for the Blues.

Kurt Capewell down with a head clash with Junior Paulo

Big run from Daniel Tupou made Thomas Dearden a speed-bump

Sit back and relax - this is a brutal affair

NSW taken on the last - changeover

Tommy has spoken from the heavens with that one. CATTLEDOG

It's still going.

Dane Gagai obstructs Matt Burton and it'll be NO TRY

We need to have a look at this whole exchange again. Ponga split them open, DCE chipped over the top and may have scored. Burton and Gagai have definitely thrown punches.

OH MY GOODNESS!! There's a try and an ALL IN BRAWL. HANG ON A MOMENT

Ashley Klein blows time back on and we're 40 minutes away from finding an Origin champ! Will it be NSW or QLD? Let's get ready to Origin RUMBLE!

What a half of footy. NSW with a slender 12-10 advantage at the change of ends.

Set restart QLD - ruck infringement

Set restart QLD - ruck infringement

Must hang on here for NSW

They did survive and regain possession though.

Air Burton really took off. QLD didn't want a BAR of it

PENALTY QLD: Obstruction against Jake Trbojevic.

James Tedesco is EVERYWHERE. What a performance from the NSW fullback thus far.

Can just start to feel NSW starting to get on top of this contest. QLD need to hang on here before the break.

The dominance of possession must be turned into some points here for the Blues. QLD have looked like scoring every set there down the other end.

Must hang on for QLD you suspect here, they do just that and the Cleary kick goes dead via Carrigan.

Ball takes a deflection from Kalyn Ponga and it'll be a goal-line dropout. Great kick from Luai

PENALTY NSW: Illegal strip and Cleary takes a quick tap and bolts up field

PENALTY QLD: Jake Trbojevic the guilty man - Ash Klein had him for a flop

What an impact from Jacob Saifiti runs over a QLD defender!

So for those just joining us. Cameron Murray, Selwyn Cobbo and Lindsay Collins have been ruled out with Category 1 concussion symptoms and won't be back tonight.

PENALTY QLD: Apisai Koroisau is in front of the kicker.

Ashley Klein sending it up to the bunker as NO TRY. He claims Apisai Koroisau is OFFSIDE

Great play from Stephen Crichton and Tom Gilbert with the clean-up forces another set of six. Maroons to kick it away.

Great ball from Angus Crichton to Teddy. Roosters connection causing trouble for the Maroons

Kick from DCE was richoshaued, Ponga picked it up and stepped his way through some pedestrian NSW defence. The last tackle play was poor but.

Set Restart NSW - ruck infringment.

QLD had a poor set after points, DCE's clearing kick is returned by Tedesco just shy of half-way.

Tom Gilbert is coming in for his opening Origin, Kurt Capewell is in at right centre.

Good news is Cobbo got up and walked to the medicab.

Cobbo collects the right hip of Patrick Carrigan. No malice in that one, but he was out before he hit the ground and the medicos have called for the stretcher here.

Now they've come in again! Selwyn Cobbo is OUT cold!

Well, this looks like Murray will have to leave to undergo a HIA, much like in Perth, Angus Crichton will come in for Murray.

Cameron Murray has wobbled badly out of this tackle and they've come in from everywhere.

Great opening set in defence from Queensland, NSW failing to get over the 40 meter line as Nathan Cleary had to do a clearing kick.

Thankfully, MenuLog have a significantly reduced presence through the pre-match show.

Well, this is it. We're locked at 1-1 and it all comes down to the last 80 minutes of the series. Queensland takes on New South Wales in a winner takes all decider. There's been no shortage of late drama that's impacted both sides with COVID and injuries wreaking havoc on both sides in their preparation. Cam Munster and Murray Taulagi were late scratchings due to positive COVID results with Corey Oates and Tom Dearden coming in, with the latter making his Origin debut. Billy Slater has opted for another late change with Patrick Carrigan starting at lock and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui will be the impact forward off the bench. For the NSW brigade, Jordan McLean broke down with a hamstring injury, Jacob Saifiti will make his Origin debut, but it'll be via the bench with Junior Paulo starting.
