The New South Wales Blues has leveled the State of Origin series at 1‑1 following their 26‑18 victory over Queensland in Game 2 and a record crowd at the MCG.
The Blues had fallen behind the Maroons 18‑14 midway through the second half before storming back with converted tries to Aaron Woods and Josh Dugan to claim the win in front of an Origin record crowd of 91,513.
The Blues' triumph may be soured by a suspected rib injury sustained by captain Paul Gallen, although coach Laurie Daley was confident his skipper would be fit for Origin 3.
The Blues other tries came from centre and Man of the match Michael Jennings and Josh Morris.
The Maroons scored through Matt Scott, Greg Inglis and Matt Gillett.
The series decider will be played at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on the 8th of next month.
