• Wally Lewis has told Blues fans they will be ‘uncomfortable’

Wally Lewis has fired an ominous warning to travelling New South Wales fans ahead of the State of Origin decider in Brisbane.

The Blues take on Queensland in the biggest Origin clash in years, with the series set to be decided tonight at Suncorp Stadium.

Michael Maguire’s side enter the contest with huge confidence having pumped the Maroons at the MCG in Game II, leaving huge questions about the frailty of Billy Slater’s defence.

But the visitors will have to overcome a hostile atmosphere in Brisbane, with 50,000 fans expected to throw everything behind Queensland in a bid to get them over the line.

And Maroons legend Lewis has told Blues fans they are in for an ‘uncomfortable’ experience on enemy soil this evening.  

‘The thing we’ve got to keep reminding them is this is Suncorp Stadium, if you wear a blue jersey you’re not welcome here and life is going to be uncomfortable,’ Lewis told Nine’s Today.

‘I am predicting this will be one of the greatest State of Origin games in history.’

Of course, Lewis will hope that tensions don’t boil over in Brisbane, with footy plagued by incidents of fan violence recently.

Earlier this month, security staff at CommBank Stadium were criticised for not acting swiftly enough to temper escalating violence between fans in the stands during Souths’ win over Parra.

Fan footage shared to social media on Friday showed several male and female fans of both NRL sides appearing to push, shove and punch each other while the nearby security guard watched on.

The footage starts with a man wearing South Sydney supporter gear appearing to have been knocked over a row of seats while a man dressed in Parramatta colours wrestled with him on the ground.

A woman wearing Parramatta gear came in to assist before another woman wearing a Rabbitohs jersey underneath a black puffer jacket stormed in.

She helped the man wearing Rabbitohs fan gear to his feet and ushered him away.

‘Hurry the f*** up,’ a man who had not been involved in the alleged violence yelled to security guards stationed higher up in the stands.
