2025 Women’s State of Origin Highlights: NSW v QLD

On May 15, 2025, the New South Wales Blues secured the women's State of Origin title early by defeating Queensland 26-6 at Allianz Stadium.
NSW's victory followed a strong opening win in Brisbane and built on Queensland's injury setback when Tamika Upton exited, reducing their comeback chances.
Olivia Kernick led NSW with two tries, a setup for another, and a game-high 169 metres despite a slow start on a rain-soaked night.
The crowd of 16,026 witnessed Kernick score a decisive second try eight minutes before full time, putting the game beyond Queensland's reach as NSW held a 12-6 halftime lead.
With NSW able to complete a 3-0 series sweep in the final game at Newcastle, the Blues demonstrated depth and resilience under coach John Strange's direction.
