Maroons target Origin series win
Greg Inglis destroyed the Blues in game two
Queensland will have to overcome a poor record at Sydney's Olympic Stadium to win a third consecutive State of Origin against New South Wales on Wednesday.
The Maroons, who lost to the Blues in the series opener in Sydney, got back into contention with a 30-0 home win in game two.
They have just one win and a draw from their past 13 games in Sydney.
Queensland are unchanged, while NSW have called up Sydney Roosters pair Braith Anasta and Mitchell Pearce.
Canberra's Joel Monaghan, the brother of Warrington half-back Michael, also comes in, while winger Steve Turner and prop Steve Simpson have been replaced by Jarryd Hayne and Ben Cross, who played in game one but were dropped for game two.
The Blues are missing Peter Wallace, Greg Bird and Mark Gasnier through injury and are underdogs after being held scoreless by Queensland in Brisbane earlier this month for only the second time in 83 Origin encounters since 1980.
It will be a special match for hooker Danny Buderus, who will lead NSW for a record 15th and final time before he moves to Super League side Leeds next season.
But Queensland, who had Melbourne centre Greg Inglis in devastating form in the second game, believe they can claim victory in Sydney.
"There is quite a bit of talk about the ground and the fact we don't have a great record there," said scrum-half Scott Prince.
"But if you look at it, plenty of players in this team have won a lot of big games there, so it's not that big a deal.
"We have a lot of guys from Melbourne Storm and the Brisbane Broncos who have won the last two Grand Finals there, so it isn't like it is a ground we hate coming to."
