CAPTAINS CAMS ON 9NOW: 
DALY CHERRY-EVANS AND JAMES TEDESCO

Billy Slater’s Queenslanders are gunning for a series whitewash, the first since 2010, in their quest for domination and a place in Origin history as only the fifth Maroons team in 42 years to win a series 3-0.

The New South Wales Blues have opted for a facelift by naming seven new players as coach Brad Fittler hunts a win to avoid embarrassment on home soil in Sydney.

Rabbitohs stars Cody Walker, Cameron Murray and Keaon Koloamatangi line up in the starting side skippered by James Tedesco, while Knights outside back Bradman Best makes his debut after stating his hatred for Queensland in the lead-up to the game.

Wide World of Sports’ exclusive Origin coverage will be hosted by James Bracey and feature the biggest names in modern rugby league history, with Origin legends Andrew Johns, Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Phil Gould, Darren Lockyer, Paul Vautin and Paul Gallen on hand to dissect every moment of the action.

Rounding out the team is Danika Mason, delivering all the breaking news in the lead-up to kick-off, along with Allana Ferguson, and Mathew Thompson in the commentary box, where he will be joined by two of the greatest ever NSW and Queensland representatives, Andrew Johns and Cameron Smith. 

Plus, 9Now will stream the game live with three additional second-screen streams to choose from, ensuring viewers won’t miss a thing:

• Player Cam NSW – James Tedesco
• Player Cam QLD – Daly Cherry-Evans
• Spidercam – An eagle-eye view of play to take you that little bit closer to the action

And after the game you can catch up with 9Now mini-match for all the best bits in a 20-minute breakdown.
