Brian To'o has been declared fit for the State of Origin decider after NSW coach Laurie Daley confirmed he would play an unchanged team at Sydney's Olympic stadium.

To'o got through a full training session with NSW teammates on Monday night despite suffering a grade-two tear to the lateral ligament in his knee.

Payne Haas will also play for the Blues despite barely training in the lead-up because of a back issue that has plagued the Brisbane prop all season.

Meanwhile, a devastated Maroons captain Cameron Munster has returned to camp yesterday following the death of his father over the weekend, as he continues to deal with the emotional toll.

Blues coach Laurie Daley – who has coached 17 Origins and played in another 23 – and he is struggling to comprehend what Munster must be going through.

He says he has never been through this - three days out from a game and it’s foreign territory for him.

Daley says he does not know how Munster is feeling and hopes he is OK, but he is sure people will be around to support him.

The Maroons take on the Blues at 10.05 tonight.
