The Blues got their hands on the trophy for the first time since 2019 in front of a record crowd of over 11,000 at Canberra’s GIO Stadium
Record crowd of over 11,000 watch final standalone match
Not even a chilly Canberra evening or the fact that this Origin series was only comprised of one match could kill that passion. From the very first kick off, the intensity was turned up several notches from anBuoyed by a record crowd for a women’s Origin match of over 11,000 spectators, the Blues looked clinical and dominant, making strong metres down the field whenever they had ball in hand.
It was two debutants who lit up the field most brightly – one on each team and both Olympic gold medalists. The Blues’ Emma Tonegato looked dangerous every time she touched the ball, going close to scoring the first time she encountered the try line and then pulling out an impossible looking effort, pouncing on a grubber kick just centimetres short of the dead ball line for NSW’s first points of the match.
The first half was a high scoring affair, with tries on offer almost every time the teams entered the opposition’s 10 metres, but the second half was a grind and every scoring opportunity seemed monumental, so it took plenty of effort to push for those points and inch their way towards the tryline.
