A near-unchanged Blues line-up is heading to enemy territory in Brisbane for Origin II, chasing back-to-back wins and the 2026 series.
NSW coach John Strange has made just one minor shuffle, to fill the gap left by an injured Tiana Penitani-Gray.
Former Helensburgh junior Kezie Apps shifts from the bench to start in the second row in Penitani-Gray’s place, Roosters prop Rima Butler slots into the interchange for her Origin debut, and Dragons star Hannah Southwell is named on the extended bench.
Meantime, Shellharbour’s Teagan Berry returns to the bench after a strong Game I debut, while former Corrimal Cougar Keeley Nizza is back at hooker.
For Queensland, Dragons utility Shenae Ciesiolka has again been named on the bench for the Maroons.
Game II kicks off Thursday, May 14, at Suncorp Stadium.
