Reece Walsh ready for revenge as Qld Maroons look to seal State of Origin series win over NSW Blues | Jack SnapeWelcome to Origin II – a match between NSW and Queensland that is being played in Victoria. The first game was a bit of an anti-climax, though maybe not if you’re a Queenslander. A very early sending off for NSW meant they played the majority of the game with 12 players and they were already up against it to win and couldn’t really afford to have any further disadvantage.
Melbourne is proposed as a “neutral” venue, but in reality, it functions like a Queensland home game. If you ever encounter a Victorian who goes for the Blues, you will likely discover that they were secretly born in NSW and have been working hard to cover it up for many years. Anyone born in Victoria automatically hates NSW and so naturally becomes extremely passionate about the state of Queensland whenever this series comes around.
Of course, whether or not that makes a difference to the result is yet to be seen, but the Maroons will be embracing the home ground advantage, while the Blues will be using it to reinforce their underdog status . We’ve got just over an hour until kick off, so get yourself some snacks, settle in and let’s get ready to Origin!
