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.

NSW Under 19s Women’s go down fighting

The Harvey Norman NSW Under 19s Women’s team have gone down fighting 20-14 against Queensland in the Women’s State of Origin Under 19s at Kayo Stadium in Redcliffe.

NSW had the lead 10-4 at half-time but a second half surge from Queensland proved to be the difference with the home team securing their first win since the concept started in 2019.

Don’t get the Blues if your in an accident – Compass

“You can’t doubt them on effort and courage; it was really courageous to keep going up until the end,” Williams said.

“It really stings though. I know the girls worked really hard for this and we just lost our way a little bit there.

“I’m a bit sore, I’m not going to lie but that’s the beauty of footy.

Seeing girls put on physicality like that is what we want for our game and what we want to people to see we’re capable of so giving out the big shots and taking them is just as important.”

NSW lock Losana Lutu was one of best on the night

NSW lock Losana Lutu was one of best on the night despite playing out of her normal position of five-eighth.

She looked threatening in both attack and defence, while her kicking game questioned Queensland’s back three the whole night.

Queensland opened the scoring early in the game after centre Skyla Adams dived on a loose ball, but they were unable to land the conversion to leave the score at 4-0.

NSW hooker Chelsea Makira found space out of dummy-half before fooling the goal-line defence to dive through a gap and cross for the first NSW try of the night.

Monalisa Soliola successfully landed the conversion to take her team to a 6-4 lead.

NSW dominated through the middle, gaining good metres on every run which placed them in good field position from each set.

Off the back of strong attacking sets close to their line, NSW found space out on their left edge and shifted the ball out to winger Grace-Lee Weekes, who crossed over in the corner to extend the lead to 10-4.

Off the back of a penalty, Queensland were in good field position only 20 metres out from NSW’s line but some impressive defence from the visitors proved to be too good and they were turned away on each play.

Queensland finally hit back in the 43rd minute with halfback Sienna Lifipo passing the ball out to fullback Destiny Mino-Sinapati, who found the line while carrying three defenders on her back.

Utility Emily Bella missed the conversion from out wide leaving her team trailing 10-8.

The home team then made it back-to-back tries after Bella dived out of dummy-half to score underneath the posts. She successfully converted her own try to extend her team’s lead to 14-10.

With momentum behind them, Queensland scored another four pointer when five-eighth Chantay Kiria-Ratu through a cut-out pass to centre Libby Surha to shoot through a hole in the defensive line and score.

The conversion was successful taking the lead to 20-10 with only nine minutes remaining.

Makira bagged her second four pointer of the night, jumping out of dummy-half to burrow her way over the line. Soliola’s conversion attempt was unsuccessful and although NSW tried to the very end, time would defeat them.

NSW Women’s Under 19s claim Origin three-peat

The Harvey Norman NSW Under 19s Women’s team has made it a three-peat in the Women’s State of Origin Under 19s match after a comprehensive 22-6 win over Queensland at Leichhardt Oval.

NSW were headed only briefly 6-4 in the first half but fought their way back to take an 8-4 lead into the break and emerged in the second half to run away with the match.

NSW won the match when it was first played as an Under 18s match in 2019, and have now made it back-to-back wins after the concept was changed to Under 19s for 2021-22.

Centre Andie Robinson scored a hat-trick

Centre Andie Robinson scored a hat-trick, five-eighth Losana Lutu was constantly scheming and winger Petesa Lio came up with a couple of telling runs but the star of the show was fullback Jada Taylor.

Taylor was a deserved Player of the Match after coming up with two tries, a try assist and three line breaks with the highlight clearly being a length of the field try in the final 10 minutes to seal the result and break Queensland’s hearts in the process.

“We had a special week in camp so it was very important for us to get out here and put on a really good performance for our state, our families and all of the crowd,” Taylor said.

“It’s very important and very special to receive it (Player of the Match award) but I definitely think it’s off the back of a lot of hard work – of my team not me.”

Lutu was proving a handful for the Queensland defence early on and had her fingerprints all over the opening try after passing for Taylor who quickly tipped the ball on for Andie Robinson.

The NSW centre then stepped her way back infield and dummied her way past Queensland fullback Chantay Kiria-Ratu to establish a 4-0 lead for the home team.

Queensland hit back through their five-eighth Jada Ferguson who sparked a break down the sideline through winger Jetaya Faifua. Ferguson backed up in support and finished the move off with Kiria-Ratu landing the conversion for a 6-4 lead.

NSW took the advantage after Taylor caught the Queensland goal-line defence off guard; barging her way through two defenders from dummy-half before wheeling around to plant the ball down.

NSW hooker Rueben Cherrington was unable to land the conversion but the home team had their noses back in front 8-6.

A mistake from the kick-off opened the door for Queensland to score but the NSW defence held tough to bundle Faifua into touch. Taylor then showed nerves of steel to defuse a kick after an awkward bounce and find the ground before she could be driven back into goal.

Queensland had one final opportunity to score before the break after Ferguson got an offload away for Otesa Pule but replays showed the back-rower had lost the ball in the process of grounding it to leave NSW just in front 8-6 at half-time.

NSW were under siege shortly after play resumed but the defence held tough with Queensland forward Jacinta Carter losing the ball as she tried to rush to her feet.

Queensland winger Helen Uitualagi had a chance after making a beeline for the corner but again was denied by the defence.

Winger Petesa Lio then produced a big run to get NSW out of trouble and although the Queensland defence was able to shut her down the damage had been done. Lutu shaped to go one way before stepping back the other for Robinson to accelerate through a gap and grab her second.

It was Taylor’s turn then to produce a massive run, turning the Queensland fullback inside out along the way, to get NSW out of trouble and put them on the attack again.

With the Queensland defence on the back foot, NSW shifted the ball wide for Robinson to dive over for her hat-trick.

“It feels pretty good (to score a hat-trick) but that comes off the back of my team’s work and it’s my job to finish the tries,” Robinson said.

Taylor then saved the best moment for last when she defused a grubber kick in-goal before finding a way back into the field of play.

She then pinned the ears back and set sail upfield to score length of the field try and put the exclamation point on a memorable victory.
