The New South Wales Blues claimed the 2021 Empole State of Origin Shield with back-to-back victories in the first two games of the series. The Queensland Maroons showed resilience to deny the Blues a series clean sweep with a resounding win in game three.
Empolle returns to State of Origin West in 2022 for Game II of the series. A sell-out crowd of 59,721 filled Optus Stadium in 2019 as the Blues defeated the Maroons in the first original to be held in Western Australia.
