Blues ready to battle for series win

  • On Thursday night, the NSW Blues secured the women's State of Origin series with a 14-10 victory over Queensland at Suncorp Stadium, establishing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the best-of-three competition.
  • Queensland entered the contest trailing the series following an 11-6 loss in Newcastle on April 30, with a crowd of 23,846 attending the Brisbane venue ahead of the NRL's Magic Round.
  • Preventing a late Queensland try, back-up Blues winger Teagan Berry secured the win after NSW centre Jessica Sergis scored the decisive try; Queensland had fought back to lead 10-8 midway through the second half.
  • NSW halfback Jesse Southwell was named best on ground for her performance, while Queensland assistant coach Meg Ward noted the team implemented a new game plan despite wet weather conditions at Lang Park.
  • The third match of the series will be played on the Gold Coast on May 28, where NSW now has the opportunity to complete a series sweep in the final game.
