ORIGIN 3 QLD vs NSW - Who'll win? ***TODAY*** MATCH THREAD - SPOILERS SO BEWARE

[Graham]

This ought to be a thriller!

 

There doesn't seem to be much between these two sides this season.

 

If that's the case it could go either way.

 

So if I have to pick the outcome I'll go for:

 

Winners: QLD by a handful of points (5 points)

Man of the Match: Corey Parker

First Try Scorer: Cooper Cronk

I know it's a bit late but here's a stream of the U20s Origin.

NSW 12-4 after 47 minutes

[Graham]

CONFIRMED: Michael Ennis will play tonight, with Robbie Farah ruled out.

[Graham]

 

Just as it appeared Origin couldn't get any bigger we head to Suncorp Stadium with a capacity crowd ready to set a new benchmark for total crowds at a three-match series, the current mark standing at 215,833 who attended in 2013. A crowd of 44,199 on Wednesday night will be enough to better that. 

The stage is set, the cast is ready and the audience is piling in; welcome to the most anticipated television event of 2015.

[Farmduck]

Should be a record then because Suncorp is sold out - about 52,500

[Graham]

Coverage has started here in the UK. Dramatic light and firework show at Suncorp Stadium. Big feature on Justin Hodges... somewhat dramatic!

[Graham]

Hodges....Qld elder statesman?

[Graham]

Crowd really being pumped up before team introduction film

[Graham]

Sterling picking out Woods as forward/player of the series

[Graham]

On paper two well matched teams. Will home advantage settle it?

[Graham]

Roll on kick-off!

[Graham]

National Anthem over. Origin 3 has kicked off

[Graham]

Niggle and temper straight away.

[Graham]

Qld under the cosh. Penalty goal in front of sticks kicked by Hodkinson

2-0 to Blues five minutes gone

[Graham]

Level up time. Penalty goal to Thurston in front of sticks.

2-2 with 9 minutes played

[Graham]

Gagai over in corner. Video ref considering offside. But can't see a problem with it. Yes TRY to QLD

[Graham]

That came from slick handling and a chancy lofted pass which came off. Thurston converts well from touchline. 8-2 QLD

[Graham]

Blues under intense pressure ... well it is Origin. Pressure is the name of the game

[Graham]

Qld pressurising Nsw defence which held up well.

[Graham]

Ryan Hoffman off with leg injury. Klemmer on
