The Queensland Maroons will have their work cut out to force a decider in the 2021 State of Origin series against the New South Wales Blues. Game 2 will take place at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.

While the main attraction is the game itself there will be plenty to entertain spectators lucky enough to grab a ticket to the big game.

The gates at Suncorp Stadium open nice and early at 4:45pm (AEST), but unfortunately for those who are keen to watch the curtain-raiser match between the Queensland Police and New South Wales Police, that match has been cancelled due to border closures caused by Sydney’s COVID-19 outbreak.

The NRL has managed to lock in some pre-match Origin entertainment with Indie band Sheppard who hail from Brisbane. They’ll be belting out some hit songs which could include ‘Geronimo’ and ‘Coming Home.’

Sheppard are expected to take to the stage around 7pm (AEST) which will be followed by an Indigenous Welcome to Country and the national anthem.

Kick-off for Game 2 of State of Origin will then follow at 7:50pm, although it is likely to start a few minutes later judging by Game 1.
