And we're off!
Anthem has just been sung, kick off is very soon now!
And out comes the Maroons.
The Blues have just run out to a hostile Suncorp crowd.
In terms of tips, as a NSW fan, it pains me to say that Queensland are likely to run away with this one. It may not end up as big a thumping, but I'll go Queensland to gain an emphatic 31-6 victory and secure the series.
Queensland are 1-17. For the Blues, Walker shifts to the centres replacing Morris, Frizell starts in place of Greg Bird and Jack Bird comes in on the bench for his State of Origin debut.
Good evening and welcome to League Unlimited's Live Update of tonight's massive State of Origin clash! It's a must win for the Blues which makes it even more intriguing!
