- NSW destroyed Queensland in Origin II
- The series has gone to a decider in Brisbane
- Daily Mail Australia rates and ranks the players
NSW sent the State of Origin series to a decider, claiming game two by destroying Queensland in a 38-18 bloodbath.
In front of 90,084 fans at the MCG in Melbourne, Mitchell Moses led the Blues to victory with four try assists, leveling the series heading into the July 17 decider in Brisbane.
NSW have not won a decider in Brisbane since 2005 but they will head to Suncorp Stadium full of confidence after bullying the Maroons off the park.
Queensland’s Reece Walsh was barely noticed as the Blues raced to a 34-0 half-time lead, with Brian To’o and fellow winger Zac Lomax scoring two tries each.
The Maroons showed signs of fighting back in the second half, but they were unable to contain a dominant NSW side.
