Origin 2 is scheduled to kick-off at 7:50pm (AEST) on Sunday, June 27, and will be played at Suncorp Stadium, also known as Lang Park, in Brisbane.

While the COVID outbreak in Eastern Sydney has prevented some NSW fans from making the trip up, the Blues’ decision to move their camp to Kingscliff well in advance of Game 2 means there is very little disruption expected to the actual playing group
