State of Origin II live: Blues look to seal series win

If you want to know what makes James Maloney so good, you need to be behind the goalposts at the MCG in the 28th minute of State of Origin I.

You need to be standing there in the huddle of NSW players, their heads starting to drop after Queensland winger Valentine Holmes has intercepted a long ball metres out from his own line to not just stop a certain Blues try but score one for the Maroons.

You need to hear what Maloney is barking at his teammates.

I'm a bit surprised it took this long but just hours before kick-off, there's no more seats at ANZ Stadium. 

Hi all, and welcome to our live coverage for the second State of Origin game - the Blues are looking to win the series tonight for just the second time since 2006, when Queensland's era of dominance truly began.
