Queensland
Reuben Cotter and Thomas Flegler moved into the starting pack for Queensland an hour before kick-off, bumping Lindsay Collins and Jeremiah Nanai back to the bench. Billy Slater's side is otherwise as named, with Nanai back after missing the series opener due to suspension and Titans big man Moeaki Fotuaika making his first appearance since 2021. Ben Hunt starts at hooker with Harry Grant coming off the bench, which worked so well in Game One. AJ Brimson is the 18th man.
New South Wales
Reece Robson gets the nod to start at hooker in his Origin debut, with Damien Cook moving back to the bench. Cameron Murray has overcome his quad injury and takes his place on the bench, while Liam Martin is good to go after a layoff with a head knock. Josh Addo-Carr and Brian To'o are tipped switch wings come kick-off, after playing on the opposite side to their club efforts in Game One. To'o is expected to return to the right wing, where he plays for Penrith this year, while Addo-Carr is set partner Stephen Crichton on the left, despite the Panthers centre playing on the right this year. Bulldogs playmaker Matt Burton is 18th man.
