Unbelievable scenes unfolded in Newcastle as the Women's State of Origin delivered a nail-biting finish that left the footy world in awe.

Queensland pulled off a miraculous 11-10 victory, forcing a thrilling decider in the first ever three-match series.

The sold out McDonald Jones Stadium was packed to the rafters, with fans braving the elements to witness a momentous night for rugby league.

The atmosphere was electric, with the rain doing little to dampen the spirits of the supporters.

In a historic moment, the NRL confirmed that the record-breaking crowd of 25,782 had filled every seat in the 33,000 capacity stadium.

This follows the previous record set at Suncorp Stadium in game one, showing the growing popularity of the women's game.

The match itself was a true spectacle, living up to its billing and keeping fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle.

It was a display of skill, determination, and sheer guts, with both teams leaving everything on the field.

As the series heads to a decider, the footy world can't help but marvel at the incredible display of talent and passion on show.

It's moments like these that remind us why we love this game so much.
