Maroons coach Kevin Walters has named his side for Origin III, for the deciding match of the Holden State of Origin series at Suncorp Stadium.
Ben Hunt and Cameron Munster will both debut in the clash, with Johnathan Thurston and Darius Boyd both unavailable for selection after sustaining injuries in Game II.
Walters confirmed Hunt will start the match from the interchange bench and will speak to the playing group tonight before formally announcing Queensland’s new starting five-eighth and centre.
The Queensland team assembles in Brisbane this afternoon and will shift base to Camp Maroon on the Gold Coast this Wednesday in preparation for the Game III blockbuster on July 12.
