NSW’s preparations for next week’s State of Origin decider could hit a baby bump with key pair Nathan Peats and Andrew Fifita set to welcome additions to their family this week.

With the Blues’ Origin base in Kingscliff just half an hour away from his home on the Gold Coast, Peats is eagerly awaiting the birth of his second child.

“She’s due tomorrow so hopefully he comes naturally. There’s no rush. There’s plenty of time between now and the game,” Peats said in Kingscliff on Tuesday.
