Despite having the home ground advantage, the Queensland Maroons are in for a tough game tonight. That’s because Cameron Munster, arguably the best player in Queensland’s side, has been ruled out due to testing positive for Covid-19.
Queensland coach and former Origin legend Billy Slater has tapped Tom Dearden to fill Munster’s shoes, which has been met with a little skepticism as tonight’s match will be 21-year-old Dearden’s Origin debut.
As for the NSW Blues, they’ll be missing Payne Haas at the front, but Blues coach Brad Fittler has called up Jacob Saifiti of the Newcastle Knights as his replacement. Compared to Queensland’s woes in the lead up to tonight, the Blues have had little to worry about beside the fact that the Origin decider is being played at Lang Park.
Despite NSW coming off the back of a dominant 44-12 victory in Game 2, the real question is whether the team is great enough to overcome the power of a Queensland home crowd tonight. If they can, it’ll only be the third time NSW has won at Suncorp for an Origin decider. Want to see how it unfolds? Here’s how to watch a New South Wales vs Queensland live stream and catch the State of Origin Game 3 decider no matter where you are.
