Sets up game 3 nicely.

fantastic game..it had everything..and what a tackling stint from farrar 60 odd tackles..is that the most tackles any individual has done in any sort of match...

Nathan Hindmarsh is the current leader of most tackles in a game. I think he did 75 against Melbourne a few years ago. That'll take some beating

Just watched it. Superb game.

Uate's defence is appalling. He's never Origin standard. Game one he was at fault for two tries; game two, for the Inglis try, a planted tree would have made more of an impact defensively.

Other than that every player is out of this world. It's like having 35 blokes all playing like Ben Westwood in his best ever game but on another level again.

This NSW team is really good. For once they've stopped loving about with who they're choosing and sticking with a nucleus. In years gone by there have been different half back and hooker combos from game one to game two.

I hope they win on 4th July.

Did Mitchell Pearce and carney play in the halfs? Still to see what all the fuss is about Pearce. Carney is class though. Queensland, though a settled team they are starting to age a bit now,they will lose the series this year or next i reckon. Nsw with Dugan,t-Rex,tariq sims and tamou,a cracking bunch of young guns stepping up,the tides turning...hopefully

Just finished watching this. What a pity we didn't stick with Lancs v Yorks and try to emulate what the Aussies do. Eng v Exiles will never match it and ultimately is self defeating - if we want to improve English players and reduce reliance on overseas, then the Exiles team will get weaker and the game will be a dead duck. Plus of course they have few fans so there can never be the big crowds and atmosphere.
