Category: Team Selection
Both the New South Wales and Queensland selectors have named their sides for State of Origin Game III, to be held at ANZ Stadium July 7.
The Blues have given Michael Gordon, Jason King, Kade Snowden and Tim Mannah their debuts while, in his last game for NSW, Trent Barrett assumes the captaincy.
For the Maroons, their only change is the inclusion of the warhorse Petero Civoniceva at the expense of a very unlucky Ben Hanannt. Souths' lock Ben Lowe is eighteenth man.
