With the honours split after four years of women's State of Origin and the series expanding to two matches next year, the stakes for New South Wales and Queensland will be even higher when the two sides meet on Friday night.
In the final year of one-off women's Origin matches, and at two wins each for New South Wales and Queensland after four meetings, there's even more on the line than usual when the rivals meet in Canberra on Friday night.Both New South Wales and Queensland have won two games each under the State of Origin banner
With arctic conditions expected in Canberra on Friday night, forward power and tactical kicking will be paramount for both sides Both sides have two wins each since 2018, and each win has come on home soil, so on the frozen tundra of Canberra Stadium, the closest thing to neutral ground in rugby league, they will fight for the right to say they're the best of this era.For their part, the Blues are also hell-bent on snapping their two-game losing streak.
The Blues enter the match as favourites, due in part to the presence of Boyle and fellow NRLW Dally M winner Emma Tonegato at fullback.
