Queensland win U19s State of Origin

Queensland have defeated New South Wales 23-22 in a tightly contested U19 State of Origin clash at Sunshine Coast Stadium, sealed by a clutch second-half response after withstanding a late NSW comeback.

The Maroons controlled the early stages, racing to a 13-6 lead at halftime off the back of first-half tries to Cooper Bai and Zac Garton.

A 34th-minute field goal from Coby Black proved critical, nudging Queensland’s lead beyond a converted try right before the break.

Black then extended the lead himself in the 36th minute with a well-timed try, putting Queensland up 17-6.

But New South Wales found their rhythm shortly after, scoring three tries in quick succession, through Stanley-Traill, Hopwood and Allen, to turn the game on its head and lead 22-17.

With the game slipping, Queensland regrouped. In the 63rd minute, Prestyn Laine-Sietu crashed over to level the scores, before Javon Andrews nailed the conversion to reclaim the lead.

That 23-22 margin would hold for the final seven minutes, despite pressure from the Blues.

Head coach Darius Boyd was pleased with the result and the preparation that led to it.

“The boys worked hard all week and really bought into everything we were trying to do,” Boyd said.

“That one-point win doesn’t happen without the effort they put in during camp.”

It was a composed and disciplined Queensland performance for most of the game, and when the contest got tight late, they responded with the key play that mattered.

NSW U19s Men go down by a point

A brave CABE NSW U19s Men’s side has gone down 23-22 to Queensland in an enthralling battle for the annual Ampol State of Origin honors at Sunshine Coast Stadium tonight.

Queensland led 13-6 at half-time but NSW staged a courageous second half fightback only to have the lead snatched away with five minutes to go.

The match started with Queensland taking control in the first half with and without the ball in hand, dominating through the middle and proving to be a handful for NSW.

Queensland lock Cooper Bai opened the scoring in the ninth minute, barging his way over the line despite best efforts by NSW to hold the player up in goal.

The lead was extended out to 12 points in the next 10 minutes through second rower Zac Garton who dove over in the corner.

Things went from bad to worse for NSW when second rower Jordan Uta was sent to the bin for 10 minutes for a shoulder charge, leaving his team down to 12 men for the remainder of the first half.

Despite being short a player, NSW was the next to hit back through five eighth Toby Rodwell. He passed a short ball out to second rower Jacob Halananghu who crossed, closing the deficit to six.

Doing well to hold Queensland out towards the back end of the half, Queensland halfback Coby Black was able to kick a field goal just before half-time to bring the score to 13-6.

Queensland didn’t take their foot off the pedal early in the second half, putting pressure on the NSW defence before Cody Black found space out on the right edge to cross for Queensland’s third try of the night.

Cleaning up their discipline which continued to plague their attack, NSW marched themselves up the field into Queensland territory before Rodwell kicked on the fifth for fullback Connor Votano to regather and offload to forward Cyrus Stanley-Traill to score.

With the comeback well and truly on, NSW found themselves only trailing by five with 20 minutes remaining.

Off the back of strong attack, NSW once again found themselves only 10m out from the try line and prop Cody Hopwood took full advantage of the field position crashing his way over for a four-pointer.

A great conversion from Votano saw NSW take the lead for the first time in the game.

Holding all the momentum, NSW weren’t done yet, with the left edge making a break down the sideline, the ball was passed to Jaxson Allen who raced away with the ball to bring the score to 22-17.

With five minutes to go, Queensland refused to back down, shifting the ball out to centre Prestyn Laine-Sietu who crossed out wide.

A successful conversion from five eighth Javon Andrews saw Queensland back in front by a point 23-22.

Despite their best efforts, NSW found themselves defending their line for the final minutes of the game, going down by a point at full-time.

NSW u19 go back to back

Strange bags three as NSW Under 19s go back-to-back

Ethan Strange has helped steer the NSW Under 19s Men’s team to an emphatic 32-14 win over Queensland after bagging a hat-trick in the Under 19s Men’s State of Origin match at Kayo Stadium in Redcliffe.

Strange was named Player of the Match after a dominant performance, with his right edge combination with winger Ethan Ferguson proving too strong for Queensland’s defence throughout the game. Ferguson also grabbed a try and landed four goals.

NSW successfully defended the Origin Shield they claimed last year after the representative match returned to the calendar following a two-year absence due to COVID-19.

NSW started the match on the front foot, threatening Queensland with the ball in hand and staying strong in defence.

While Queensland looked to take the lead in the back end of the first half, an 18-point haul in the second half helped NSW secure the win.

NSW wasted no time capitalising on a Queensland knock-on in the early seconds of the game with five-eighth Latu Fainu sending centre Strange over in the first minute of the game.

Ferguson failed to kick the conversion leaving the Blues lead to 4-0.

A high tackle followed by some push and shove between both teams saw Queensland centre Mitchell Jennings sent to the sin bin for 10 minutes.

NSW capitalised on another knock-on from Queensland, quickly shifting the ball out to right to Ferguson who dived over in the corner. He was unable to convert his own try, leaving the lead at 8-0.

Queensland opened their account in the 20th minute when NSW fullback Chevy Stuart lost possession of the ball in the in-goal area, prompting winger Timothy Sielaff-Burns to grab the scraps and score.

He was unsuccessful converting his try but the margin was reduced to 8-4.

Queensland went back-to-back off the kick-off when centre Caleb Jackson made a line break down the sideline before passing the ball back on his inside to second-rower Will Sullivan to cross near the posts.

Sielaff-Burns landed the conversion taking his team to a 10-8 lead.

NSW regained the lead with a length of the field try that saw the ball pass through the hands of multiple players before halfback Ethan Sanders sprinted away to finish it off.

Ferguson successfully converted to put NSW back in front 14-10.

Queensland centre Caleb Jackson levelled the scores after catching a cross field kick from halfback Zac Lamont before planting it down with one hand to score.

The conversion was waved away, leaving the scores tied up at 14-all.

Strange scored his second try of the night after chasing through a grubber kick from second-rower Harrison Hassett, and then showed great skill to juggle the ball before regathering to plant it over the line.

Ferguson converted the try to give NSW the lead again 20-14.

NSW continued to pile on points with winger Savelio Tamale jumping out of dummy-half off the back of a quick play the ball before finding space in the defensive line and accelerating through to score.

The conversion was successful, extending the lead out to 12 points.

The two Ethan’s starred after Ferguson broke through Queensland’s defence before kicking it back on his inside for NSW to regather.

Shortly after, Joash Papalii put a kick out wide for Strange to pluck out of the air and cross for his third try of the night.

Ferguson landed the conversion to ensure the Shield would remain in NSW for another year.

The Harvey Norman NSW Under 19s Women’s Origin team have successfully defended their State of Origin title after defeating the Maroons 16-12 in a blockbuster clash at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Friday night.

The match also marked the first representative state pathways fixture to be played since 2019 after last year’s COVID-affected season.

The Blues’ Luisa Yaranamua earned Player of the Match honours after a superb start to the contest, scoring the opening try and setting up the second for Blake Cavallaro’s side.

The two sides struggled for territory in the opening ten minutes with neither outfit seeing any real scoring opportunities early on.

In the 12th minute, however, it was the Blues who would take the early advantage after earning a penalty in the attacking ten-metre zone.

Shifting to the right-hand side early in the set, five-eighth Yaranamua took on the Queensland defence herself and muscled her way over the line for the first points of the night. Rueben Cherrington failed to convert to leave the score at 4-0.

Five minutes later the Maroons came within touching distance of the try-line, but a fifth-tackle grubber rolled over the dead ball area to hand possession back to NSW.

In the closing minutes of the first half, Queensland conceded another penalty – with ball-in-hand – in their own half allowing the Blues an opportunity to extend their lead before halftime.

The Blues did exactly that and again Yaranamua was heavily involved in the try, latching onto an offload from five metres out before throwing a pinpoint cut-out pass for Teagan Berry to score.

With the halftime whistle approaching the Maroons were desperate to get on the scoresheet before the break, and they received a chance in the 29th minute after a NSW error in their own red zone.

Within a matter of seconds the Queenslanders were able to cross the stripe through back-rower Sara Sautia on the left edge. Second row forward Zoe Cook converted from out wide as the siren sounded to leave the Blues clinging to a 10-6 lead at halftime.

The Maroons continued their momentum in the early exchanges of the second half, finding themselves in attacking position in the 33rd minute before Hannah Larsson charged at a gap in the defensive line to score untouched beside the posts. Cook converted her second goal for to give Queensland a 12-10 lead.

The ensuing 13 minutes of the match saw points at a premium as both sides made handling errors close to the line before NSW were presented a chance in the 45th minute with a scrum on their own 10-metre line.

Enter Teagan Berry.

Halfback Tayla Montgomery threw a long ball from the feed and, within two passes, it found the hands of Berry who outpaced her opposite winger and raced away for her second try. Yaranamua took on the goalkicking duties and successfully converted for a 16-12 lead.

The Blues then attempted to push their lead further with a minute remaining, but the ball was kicked dead to give Queensland one more chance to score with seven tackles in hand.

NSW looked to be on their heels as the Maroons were tackled only metres from the try-line, before the visiting side forced an error at the play-the-ball to seal the four-point win and spark wild celebrations.
