Game 1 of State of Origin could be affected by rain and strong winds.

There is 60% chance of rain which could adversely impact ground conditions at the Adelaide Oval and there could be quite a strong wind gust and this could make things interesting for opposing fullbacks James Tedesco and AJ Brimson under the high ball.

Meanwhile, the Maroons had a late injury scare with centres Brenko Lee and Kurt Capewell both suffering injuries in the captain's run.

Coach Wayne Bennett said it was "nothing serious" and both were expected to take the field tonight.

For the Blues, Cameron McInnes and Reagan Campbell-Gillard were trimmed from the extended bench 24 hours before kick-off.

Game one between the Maroons and the Blues will be at 9.10 tonight.
