Queensland coach Mal Meninga has declared prop Steve Price fit and ready to go for tonight's third State of Origin clash with New South Wales at Suncorp Stadium.

Price had been battling a flu virus but Meninga declared the veteran front-rower fully recovered and ready to play.

Meninga, who has won four series as a coach, admitted to some nerves on the eve of the Maroons' attempts to clinch their first series clean sweep in 15 years.

"Pricey is fine, he's just had a bit of a bug and he'll train this afternoon and be ready to play tomorrow night," said Meninga.

"Things have been a bit low key, I must admit I'm a bit nervous.

"We know NSW will be very committed and very physical and to be honest I'm a bit nervous on the eve of such a big match."

Meninga had no idea if tonight's Origin would be skipper Darren Lockyer's last for Queensland.

"I had a talk to him the other day and I think he is a little bit up in the air at the moment," said the Queensland coach.

The team wrapped up their preparations with a light training run at Suncorp Stadium yesterday afternoon and Price trained well during that time.
