Maroons coach Paul Green will gamble on teenage rookie Reece Walsh at fullback in Sunday’s must-win Origin II clash at Suncorp Stadium with Queensland making five changes to the side belted 50-6 in the series opener.
18-year-old Walsh will become the youngest Origin debutant since Ben Ikin in 1995 when he runs out in the Maroons No.1 jersey made famous by the likes of Gary Belcher, Darren Lockyer, Billy Slater and Greg Inglis.
Daly Cherry-Evans, Cameron Munster, Valentine Holmes, Kurt Capewell, Josh Papalii, Ben Hunt and Jai Arrow have also been included.
Game 2 of the State of Origin will be played at 9.50pm Sunday in Brisbane.
