State Of Origin

The game started with the underdogs, New South Wales scoring a try thanks to Akiula Uate after the ball bounced on his back then he swivelled and found the ball and put it to the ground. Todd Carney did a terrible conversion not even getting close to the goal posts. A few dropped bombs later by Billy Slater, Greg Bird confronted Queensland and that ended up with a PUNCH-UP! Then Michael Jennings got a sin bin. In the 26th minute Darius Boyd equalised and then Queensland got in front with excellent conversion kicking by Jonathon Thurston. Then Darius Boyd got 2 tries to his name in the last minute of the first half and Jonathon Thurston converted yet again.

Early in the second half Michael Jennings scored a try and Todd Carney finally converted. In the 73rd minute of play Cooper Cronk cross-kicked a ball which Billy Slater knocked back and then Greg Inglis collects the ball and puts it over the try line. However the video referee rules that Robbie Farah accidentally knocked the ball out of Greg Inglis's hands. It was ruled a try. Thurston converted for yet another time.
