Queensland survive late fightback to level series
Munster leads Maroons to glory in first match as captain

The first time the teams played at Optus Stadium the Blues won 38-6 in 2019. The last time, the Blues won 44-12 to level the 2022 series. Home from home.

What does Cameron Munster make of captaining Queensland? "It's everything. As a kid you always wanted to play for Queensland and I never thought I'd have the opportunity to captain this beautiful team and this beautiful state. So to be able to do that tonight, I'm very proud. I can't wait to lead them out." Beautiful.
