Queensland secured their fifth consecutive State of Origin series with a game in hand, following a comprehensive victory over New South Wales in game two in Brisbane. The Maroons scored six tries against a hard pressed Blues side as they ran riot at the Suncorp Stadium. The result capped a miserable week for New South Wales, who went into the game under a cloud of controversy with a player walk-out and allegations of racism.

Willie Tonga, Folau and Cooper Cronk scored in the second half, whilst Brett White gained a late consolation try for the Blues. Giving us the final score of:
