The Queensland Maroons and the New South Wales Blues will go into tonight's State of Origin decider unchanged, with the series set to be decided before a sell-out crowd at Suncorp Stadium.

The Blues have been boosted by the availability of Ethan Strange, who has recovered from an ankle injury after initially being placed in a protective boot during camp.

His recovery allowed Matt Burton to return to Sydney after joining the squad as injury cover.

Queensland have also received good news, with forward Pat Carrigan declared fit despite recently recovering from ankle surgery.

The Maroons will be looking to repeat last year's comeback after losing Game One before winning the final two matches to claim the series.

Halfback Sam Walker has impressed since making his Origin debut and will again partner Cameron Munster, while Selwyn Cobbo, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Kalyn Ponga provide Queensland with plenty of attacking firepower.

For New South Wales, debutant Jack Bostock comes into the side alongside the returning Liam Martin, while much of the focus will be on halfback Nathan Cleary, who is chasing his first State of Origin series-deciding victory.

Game 3 of the 2026 Men's State of Origin kicks off  tonight at 10.05pm at Suncorp Stadium in Australia.
