- NSW destroyed Queensland in Origin II
- Series has gone to a decider in Brisbane
- Daily Mail Australia rates and slates the players
NSW have sent the State of Origin series to a decider, claiming game two by demolishing Queensland in a 38-18 bloodbath.
In front of 90,084 fans at Melbourne’s MCG, Mitchell Moses led the Blues to victory with four try assists, squaring the series heading into the July 17 decider in Brisbane.
NSW have not won a decider in Brisbane since 2005 but they will go to Suncorp Stadium brimming with confidence after bullying the Maroons off the park.
Queensland whizz Reece Walsh was barely sighted as the Blues cruised to a 34-0 halftime lead with Brian To’o and fellow winger Zac Lomax scoring two tries each.
The Maroons showed a semblance of a second-half fightback but they were unable to reel in a dominant NSW side.
