New South Wales Blues vs Queensland Maroons Preview

The 2025 State of Origin series comes down to a blockbuster decider at Accor Stadium, where Queensland will look to seal a stunning upset over New South Wales. The Maroons levelled the series with a thrilling 26-24 win in Perth, sparked by a bold call from coach Billy Slater to hand the captaincy to Cameron Munster. The five-eighth was electric as Queensland surged to an early lead, before surviving a late Blues comeback that fell short thanks to wayward goal-kicking.

New South Wales remain firm favourites and Laurie Daley has backed his side to bounce back, naming an unchanged 17. Queensland, however, have been forced into several changes — most notably Kalyn Ponga’s withdrawal through injury. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow shifts to fullback, while Gehamat Shibasaki earns a shock debut in the centres. Veteran Josh Papalii also returns from retirement, adding punch to the forward pack in what shapes as a classic Origin decider.
