The mighty warriors of Westpac NSW Sky Blues have kept their lineup unchanged for the epic showdown in Game Three of the 2024 Ampol State of Origin series.
The battleground? Townsville's Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Thursday 27 June.
In a bold move, Sky Blues forward Olivia Kernick will take on the revered No.13 jersey after showcasing her skills in the lock position in the first two games.
Meanwhile, her valiant Sydney Roosters comrade Keeley Davis will be lurking on the bench, ready to unleash her power as No.15.
This year's Women's State of Origin (WSOO) series has been nothing short of legendary, with the score locked at 1-all.
The Sky Blues emerged victorious in Game One at Suncorp Stadium with a resounding 22-12 triumph, but Queensland fought back fiercely to claim Game Two with a narrow 11-10 victory at Newcastle's McDonald Jones Stadium.
Since the rebirth of the annual Interstate Challenge as WSOO in 2018, both NSW (2018-19, 22) and Queensland (2020-21, 23) have hoisted the coveted Origin Shield high three times each.
The stage is set, the players are ready, and the stakes have never been higher as the warriors prepare to clash once again.
It's a battle that will go down in the annals of Rugby League history.
