Blues centre Michael Jennings has claimed man of the match honours in Game 2 of the 2015 State of Origin series.
Speedster Jennings was electric in NSW’s 26-18 victory, scoring the Blues’ first try early in the first half and creating plenty of space and opportunity down the left hand side of the field.
He combined very effectively with Trent Hodkinson, Brett Morris and Ryan Hoffman, all of whom had very solid games.

Jennings’ early try laid the platform for the rest of his match.
He was involved strongly from the very beginning, searching for carries out of the Blues’ half and earning plenty of metres in the process.
In defence, he handled his opposite Justin Hodges very effectively, nullifying Queensland’s right side attack with great competence.
In attack, Jennings had several offloads to go with plenty of metres, and he was a constant threat with his speed and step. Although he didn’t receive too many more opportunities in the Maroons’ red zone, the threat was there for the rest of the match.
NSW ran out winners of Game 2 by eight points, setting up a mouthwatering decider in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium in three weeks time.
