New South Wales have stunned the Queensland team to record their greatest ever Origin win in the State of Origin Series, scoring five tries to one in a 28‑4 finish in front of 50,390 fans last night.
Not since Game Three of the 2005 series, has a Maroons team been so humiliated on home soil.
NSW scoring inside the final minute of the first half to lead 12‑4 at the break and then posting three further tries in the second half to take a 1‑0 series lead to Sydney for Game Two on June 21st.
NSW also found some inspiration in the man who sparked the Blues' last series win in 2014, Jarryd Hayne, at centre and not fullback, running 130 metres to score a 60th minute try that ensured a record win.
I love representing my state. Battling with my brothers and winning at suncorp. Tonight was special. #bleedblue @NSWRL pic.twitter.com/m5lclgGJtG
