NEW SOUTH WALES VS QUEENSLAND – WEDNESDAY JUNE 9, 8:10PM, QUEENSLAND COUNTRY BANK STADIUM
This year’s Origin opener will be different for players and fans with a sellout crowd set to pack the stands in Townville for the first time in the game’s history.
After losing the 2020 series to the worst ever Queensland side in Origin history, the Blues will have a chip on their shoulder heading into Game 1 as they look to forget all about the embarrassment served to them in last year’s decider.
Fittler, who had brought the pride back to NSW with series wins in 2018 and 2019, admits he was out-coached by wily Wayne Bennett and is determined to ensure the Blues make good on their favourites tags this time around.
Both teams have been hit by injuries and suspensions with Fittler forced to go with a new-look back row and Maroons boss Paul Green gambling on the fitness of 75 percent of Queensland’s spine.
