Queensland Maroons vs NSW Blues: Women's State of Origin Game 2 - Live Coverage

AI Summary
The Women's State of Origin series continues with Game 2 as Queensland Maroons host NSW Blues at Suncorp Stadium during Magic Round. NSW leads the series after a tight victory in Game 1, but Queensland will be looking to break their home game losing streak under the State of Origin banner.

The State of Origin Rivalry Continues

Hello and welcome to Game 2 of the women's State of Origin series! Last time it was the Blues with the win in a very tight match, breaking their run of losses in Newcastle and overcoming an early setback when the Maroons scored in the opening minutes of the match.

It was a victory the Blues will be happy with, but it was not dominant by any means and coming into the hostile environment of Suncorp Stadium, they will be wary of a resurgent Maroons team. However, Suncorp has not been a happy hunting ground for the Maroons in the past – they have not won a game there since playing under the State of Origin banner. They will be hoping this is the year for breaking home game loss streaks!

This match features as part of Magic Round, so there will be plenty of excitement around up in Brisbane, with a festival of rugby league happening all weekend. I'd expect to see a good crowd in, which will be very pro-Queensland.

There are a few team changes to discuss, so let's get into it!
