Doing their best to lose this NSW.
They've some fantastic backs but persisting with 5 drives and a kick is playing straight into Queenslands hands.

Aussie Grand Final? Its state of origin...

That's because QLD have won possession for the last 20 minutes and have been playing most of their rugby in the NSW half whereas NSW have been playing out of their own 40, not taking any risks with the ball and have just been doing 1 up rugby and not gained possession with their kicks very well.

Great discipline from QLD to turn this around. Shows how important a good defence and good kicker is to win the arm wrestle.

Oops

Thought it was a dour match.
QLD did it by the book and ground it out.
Hopefully, next week, the game will be more free flowing.

QLD's effort in the second half reminded me of us snuffing out Saints. But very disappointing from NSW, who had much the stronger side on paper. One of the poorer Origin games of recent years.
