Wayne Bennett makes three changes to the Queensland starting line-up ahead of State of Origin Game III, as the Queensland Government eases restrictions to allow a full house at Lang Park.

Harry Grant's breakout 2020 season will end in a State of Origin debut as Queensland take a much-changed team into next week's series decider against NSW.Queensland names Cameron Munster at 6 for State of Origin Game III, Christian Welch returnsQueensland Government eases restrictions on attendees at Lang Park, meaning 52,500 could be in attendance

South Sydney's 22-year-old flier Corey Allan will also debut for the Maroons, replacing Phillip Sami on the left wing. Melbourne premiership-winner Lee, who missed out on a debut in Game I after being a late scratching due a calf injury, could yet come into the 17 in place of Allan if he can prove his fitness at the Maroons' training session on Sunday.Cameron Munster has been named at five-eighth but can only play if he passes NRL concussion protocols after being taken out of Game II in just the third minute due to a head knock.

With the borders closed between NSW and Queensland, Blues' fans will be in the minority at the venue, where NSW have won just twice since 2010.
