Last updated:

Sky Blues: Winger Tiana Penitani has been ruled out with a hamstring injury picked up late in the week. That sees Jess Sergis shift to the wing and Taliah Fuimaono move from the bench to start at centre. Quincy Dodd is the new face on the interchange. Kennedy Cherrington goes from lock to prop, with Brooke Anderson promoted from the bench to start at lock. Captain Kezie Apps reverted to the bench an hour before kick-off. 

Jaime Chapman, Jesse Southwell, Anderson and Fuimaono will all make their Origin debut. 

Maroons: No late changes for Queensland, with Ali Brigginshaw moving back to lock where she played in 2021 series, while Zahara Temara takes her place at halfback. Roosters forwards Keilee Joseph will make her debut in the front-row in place of Chelsea Lenarduzzi who missed selection for Game One. Sophie Holyman, Romy Teitzel and Emma Manzelmann have also found a place on Tahnee Norris' bench. Broncos recruit Destiny Brill moves to hooker after starting in lock last year. Julia Robinson and Emily Bass have retained their spot on the wings.
