00:00Well, we're expecting an action-packed night tonight, and there are a few different factors
00:05that could make for quite a spicy game on the field.
00:08Now, on the one hand, Queensland are coming on to this off the back of a two-year winning
00:13streak.
00:14So the big question is, will they be able to keep that up, or will the Blues dash those
00:18hopes and dreams for them?
00:20In terms of the numbers of home games, it's not looking too great for Queensland, because
00:24there's been 31 Origin games played here in Sydney.
00:27And of those, the Blues have won 20 of them, and Queensland have only won about 10.
00:32So it looks like the Blues have a home game advantage here tonight, but the Blues do have
00:37a new coach here today.
00:40So that's Michael Maguire.
00:41He will be taking on the team for his first year here.
00:44So there could be some teething problems associated with that, but only time will tell.
00:49Interestingly, though, the two captains play on the same NRL team.
00:54So Daley Cherry-Evans and Jake Trebrojevic will have to put their manly alliances aside
00:59as they try and take their teams to victory tonight.
