State of Origin Turns ‘WWF’ in Tense First Minutes
- The New South Wales Blues defeated Queensland 18-6 on Wednesday night in Brisbane, playing before 52,483 fans at Suncorp Stadium.
- The Blues were driven by a strong sense of unity and determination as they sought to secure back-to-back victories on Queensland soil, a feat they had not achieved since the late 1990s.
- Standout contributions featured man of the match Josh Haas, who achieved 154 metres gained along with five breaks in tackles and completed 30 tackles, while Zac Lomax added two tries, all supported by a dominant performance from the NSW forward pack.
- Commentator Phil Gould said NSW shattered Queensland and doubted Queensland’s ability to recover, adding the 12-point margin masked NSW’s dominance and calling the To’o sin-binning a "ridiculous exaggeration."
- The series will continue in Perth on June 18 and conclude in Sydney on July 9, with Queensland’s coach reconsidering selections amid calls to draft Tom Dearden into the starting lineup.
