The NSW Blues have gone back to back in series wins after a last minute James Tedesco try saved the day. Join our live blog here.
This was agony. Then it was ecstasy. Finally, it was bloody heartbreak.
Queensland crashed to their second consecutive series defeat in the most devastating fashion after NSW bogeyman James Tedesco produced a moment of magic to crush the Maroons 26-20 at ANZ Stadium.
In the greatest decider in Origin history, Tedesco touched down with 32 seconds remaining to steal victory just as the braveheart Maroons looked set to conjure another Queensland miracle.

Well that was a gut-wrenching night. In the words of Irish poet Ronan Keating: "Life is a rollercoaster, just gotta ride it"
Plenty to like about the young Maroons – particularly that incredible fightback – but in the end it wasn't enough. NSW go back-to-back for the first time in 14 years.
Thanks for joining us here and we'll be back with all the fallout tomorrow.
Tedesco wins player of the series. Billy Slater hard done by.
And the one that broke our hearts…
What a try by the @NSWRL Blues!!!
