Women's Origin Late Mail 📝
The battle of the outside backs and contest in the middle with the forward packs will be mouth-watering but the class of both halfbacks in the end could prove the difference. Pearson finally gets her chance at the Origin level after missing selection last year and is up against one of the best players in the modern era. The 28-year-old's kicking game for the Dragons in the NRLW is set to be crucial for the Sky Blues, who struggled in that area last year.
Brigginshaw is coming off a quiet NRLW campaign by her usual standards but is still a leap above the general playmakers in the game with her smarts, particularly when a contest is on the line. After playing in the lock role in recent years, the 32-year-old is back in the No.7 jersey and with a Jillaroos spot up for grabs later in the year she'll be looking to make a statement in the representative fixture.
The 40/30 kick will remain an option for kickers while the six-again rule played in the NRL won't apply with penalties awarded instead for ruck infringements and foul play. Win the ultimate Women’s State of Origin experience with your favourite team, thanks to Harvey Norman!
