The margin was just a few pixels in the video review bunker, but it was enough for New South Wales to secure the Women’s State of Origin shield, winning game two 14-10 over Queensland in Brisbane.

The result looked set to flip when Maroons winger Jasmine Peters crossed in the right corner in the final minute, triggering wild scenes among the Queenslanders on the field and in the Suncorp Stadium stands, filled with a healthy crowd of 23,846.
