Queensland have added another chapter to the Maroons’ State of Origin folklore, shocking New South Wales (NSW) with a 24-12 victory at Accor Stadium to win back the shield.

In a state of chaos a month ago after losing game one, the Maroons were dominant at Accor Stadium on Wednesday night after also stunning NSW in Perth last month.
