• Blues defeat Maroons 12-4 to complete 3-0 whitewash

• Yasmin Meakes named player of the series

New South Wales have secured the first whitewash in Women’s State of Origin since the series shifted to three matches in 2024, after grinding out a 12-4 victory over Queensland on the Gold Coast in game three.

The scoreline flattered the home side, who were clearly second best against the shield holders, and have now lost back-to-back series. But they hung with the Blues until Jayme Fressard’s try with 17 minutes to go which proved to be the match-winner.
