The New South Wales Blues have elected to shuffle their starting line-up for State of Origin Game 2 against the Queensland Maroons, but both sides will otherwise line up as named.
Brad Fittler has shifted Jake Trbojevic to prop and moved Dale Finucane to lock, which sees Paul Vaughan moved to the bench. Otherwise, they retain their unrecognisable lineup, including the controversial centres pairing of Tom Trbojevic and Jack Wighton.
For Queensland, Dylan Napa will retain his promotion to the starting line-up for the Maroons despite reports emerging earlier in the week that he’d fractured his wrist.
Tim Glasby and Jarrod Wallace are the new faces on the bench for Queensland, replacing injured duo Jai Arrow and Joe Ofahengaue. Reserves Christian Welch and Corey Norman drop out.
