In the 2025 State of Origin Game 1, the New South Wales Blues achieved a historic victory, breaking a nearly 30-year record.
As reported by zerotackle.com, it marks the first time since 1996 and 1997 that the Blues have won back-to-back games in Brisbane.
They secured the decider last year at Suncorp Stadium and continued their success in this year's opener.
The Blues dominated the first half, leading 14-2 at halftime.
Queensland struggled significantly due to numerous errors, silly penalties, and poor discipline.
By halftime, they had missed an alarming 30 tackles, which contributed to their inability to keep up with the Blues' performance.
