The Decider: With the series locked up at 1-1, Queensland are vying for an 11th series win in 12 years, while NSW are desperate to seal just their second series triumph in the same period.
NSW drew first blood with a dominant 28-4 game one victory in Brisbane, before Queensland came back to level the series with a 18-16 win at the death in game two in Sydney.
Maroons great Johnathan Thurston will receive a pre-match tribute after his 37 game Origin career was ended by a shoulder injury in the last interstate clash three weeks ago.
Queensland's key man: Maroons debutant Cameron Munster replaces Thurston in the No6 jersey. The pressure is on the Melbourne Storm youngster to get his side's attack firing. He has the benefit of having established combinations with club teammate and hooker Cameron Smith and halfback Cooper Cronk playing inside him.
New South Wales' key man: Blues halfback Mitchell Pearce has never experienced an Origin series win in six attempts and has only tasted victory once in seven Origins played at Suncorp Stadium - NSW's record 28-4 victory in game one this year. Pearce will need to run to the line, probe the defence and kick accurately to give his side every chance of winning.
