This coming Wednesday is the second State of Origin.

Now, I am from New South Wales, and I'm a diehard Blues supporter, but I have to say, the Maroons just look to strong for this one. Sure, NSW have a much more powerful forward pack, but Queensland always match us even though their pack might be considered less talented on paper.

Throw in what is basically the Australian backline and the two best players in the world in Darren Lockyer and Johnathon Thurston, and the task seems to daunting.

Your opinions?

My predictions:

Queensland by 16
Man of the Match: Darren Lockyer
First tryscorer: Justin Hodges

Make your predictions as well!
