The NSW Blues are rallying support for their upcoming Women's State of Origin match at Allianz Stadium, aiming to set a new attendance record with "Let's get 40,000 there" as their rallying cry.
Following a decisive 32-12 victory over Queensland, where 20-year-old halfback Jesse Southwell excelled, the Blues have taken a 1-0 lead in the series.
This series marks a significant moment, as the Blues are poised to clinch the State of Origin Shield for the first time since the women's format was expanded from a single match to a series in 2023.
However, veterans Jess Sergis and Kezie Apps caution that to secure this victory, the team will need the passionate backing of NSW fans, especially after last year's experience where they won the opener but ultimately lost the series 1-2.
As the excitement builds for the match in Sydney, the team's call for support reflects their determination to not only win the game but to also make history with fan participation.
