From Jack Wighton proving early that his selection at centre was warranted, to some glittering Cameron Munster magic, these were the five moments that stole the spotlight in Queensland's gutsy victory over New South Wales in Origin I.
Under the blanket of a deafening roar at Stadium Australia, Queensland and New South Wales put on a match for the ages to open the 2022 State of Origin series.
While the Storm attacking machine thankfully managed to pick himself up off the turf, he limped around like a geriatric for a while before collapsing on the sidelines. The Storm superstar dodges, dips, ducks, dives and dodges around the the Blues defence to tear them apart, powering through the guts of the ground and making a crucial break.
