Pick tonight’s winner please
There’s no denying the Blues this time
26 min: The Blues strip Queensland for numbers on the left and quick hands put Isabelle Kelly over for the opening try. Jesse Southwell fails to raise the flags. NSW 4-0
Blues break the deadlock. Or so we thought!
21 min: Jayme Fressard crosses for what appeared to be the opening try, but replays showed a great tackle by fellow winger Jasmine Peters forces the ball free. Huge let-off for Queensland. Fressard needed to do better there. 0-0
Desperate defence keeps the Blues out
14 min: The Blues look a 12-point better team than the Maroons in the early stages and have enjoyed a huge territorial advantage, but the Queensland defence continues to hold firm. But for how much longer is the big question.
Early chance for the Blues to strike first
5 min: Early handling error from the Maroons, via experienced forward Keilee Joseph, hands the Blues the opportunity to open the scoring, but Queensland keep their line intact. 0-0
Game on!
1 min: Queensland enjoy first use of the ball after NSW kick off. Unfortunately, the attendance doesn’t appear to be the best.
How they will line up
Pick tonight’s winner please
Too much Origin footy is never enough!
Thank you for joining us for live updates as John Strange’s Blues attempt to claim a historic series whitewash over Queensland tonight. Maroons fans will still be hurting after Queensland’s last-minute loss to NSW in the men’s series opener at Accor Stadium last night and will be hoping their women’s team can get one back on their arch rivals. Kick-off is set down for 7:45pm.
