The Westpac NSW Blues have secured their first series win in State of Origin history, decisively defeating Queensland 26-6 at Allianz Stadium.
Following a dominant 32-12 victory in Game One, the Blues thrived in front of a spirited crowd of 16,026 amidst challenging weather conditions.
Queensland, aiming to replicate their successful comeback from a 1-0 deficit in the previous year, struggled to find the same momentum and resilience in this series.
The Blues' performance was marked by significant kick pressure throughout the game that consistently forced Queensland into their own half, leading to multiple line dropouts.
Their forwards continued to deliver powerful runs, bolstering the team's overall dominance.
With this victory, the Blues not only clinched the series but are now setting their sights on a clean sweep, having showcased strong form in both matches.
The next challenge is Game Three, scheduled for May 29 in Newcastle.
