Event of the Day: State of Origin Game 3

Our event of the day is the third and final State of Origin clash of the series as Queensland Maroons take on the New South Wales Blues at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The series is on the line after both teams claimed one victory each in the first two matches. Game one saw the Blues thrash Queensland 28-4. The second game was a tight affair which the Maroons produced a fantastic comeback in, to win by two points in a 18-16 victory. The Maroons will be without the influential Johnathan Thurston who injured his shoulder in Game 2. However, his team will still be confident going into the clash considering they have won 10 of the past 11 series. History may be against the Blues but the decider promises to be an exciting watch.
