Queensland enjoy a remarkable dominance in the third State of Origin leg, particularly when it comes to live rubbers.

Here we take a look at some of the more telling stats.

MAROONS’ GAME THREE DOMINANCE

* Queensland have a 14-5 record (with two draws) in game three deciders.

* Queensland have won eight of the past nine deciders (2006, 2008, 2011-13, 2015, 2017 and 2020), with the Blues winning in 2019.

* NSW have won just two of the past 12 game three matches, both at ANZ Stadium in Sydney (2016 and 2019)

* NSW have won just seven of 26 game three clashes in Queensland, losing the last eight.

* NSW have been held to under 20 points in their past six Game 3 contests in Queensland, the Maroons outscoring the Blues 164-64 in those matches.

Records show All Blacks' greatest rugby adversary is now Ireland

Foster was literally whinging about the TMO in the Ireland series in the presser AFTER the RWC final. NZs whinging about the final itself was apparently picked up by Voyager 2 which was near the asteroid belt. What about the whingefest and crybabies after O'Mahony's legendary sledge (during the match) on Sam Cane?


I often hear talk about NZ players being poisoned or similar nonsense during the 1995 final. NZ boast that they are 'superstars' and 'humble heroes' on their own website. You gave England the same treatment in 2002-2003, calling them arrogant just because they beat you. They told the rest of us then what you were like, we should have listened. I would give as much credence to a NZ supporter disliking us, as I would to Krusty the clown saying the same thing. Let's just say your judgement may not be the best.


Regarding 2016, as the referee had basically let NZ away with cheating their way to victory via filthy dangerous play and fouling he was hardly going to pull Sexton up when clearly trying to stop a grounding. NZ always leave the boot or arm in to hurt a try scorer but that seems to be invisible to you entitles lot.


BTW NZ have literally being whinging and crying about Ireland since Soldier field. You are just very bad losers. We will be delighted to be shot of you on Friday. I hope we do so with a win, so that you rethink your philosophy of mocking opponents and spectators you've just beaten.


After the match last Saturday the internet was full of Kiwi supporters basically abusing English folk. Where is your national honour? Where is your national integrity?
