Heartbreak in Maroons Camp as Cameron Munster's Father Passes Away

  • Queensland captain Cameron Munster will lead the Maroons in the decisive match of the State of Origin series in Sydney, despite the recent passing of his father, Steven Munster, just days before the game.
  • Steven Munster's death followed a period of personal challenge for Munster, who had taken time away from the squad to grieve with family but intends to rejoin for the decider, facing an emotionally charged occasion.
  • Munster previously led Queensland to a 26-24 win in Perth for game two, overcoming a 14-point deficit while being praised as the best player on field, and aims to back up this performance in Sydney despite the mourning.
  • Munster noted that many dismissed the Maroons' chances in Perth, and he expects similar skepticism ahead of game three, highlighting their role as underdogs.
  • The team faces a potentially landmark achievement, as it has been 45 years since a Maroons squad lost the opening match but then secured victories in the following two games on the road. Munster emphasized the importance of maintaining determination and focusing on thorough preparation despite the challenges ahead.
