Origin III Match Report ✍
Ben Hunt starred as Queensland restored a little of their Origin reputation with a gritty 20-18 win over NSW in the final game of the 2021 series at Gold Coast’s Cbus Stadium.
The three-match series was already lost with the first two dominant wins by the Blues. But maybe the humiliation of all that was what prodded the Queenslanders into making sure they didn’t suffer further embarrassment by losing 3-0. A double by Hunt in the second half laid the foundation for the upset, denying NSW what would have been their first clean sweep since 2000.A Valentine Holmes early penalty ensured Queensland wouldn’t be whitewashed on the scoreboard like they were in game two.
But another hiding appeared to be on the cards when Latrell Mitchell stepped inside his South Sydney teammate Dane Gagai to score in the 10th minute – his sixth try in seven Origin games.
