Maroons beat NSW Sky Blues 18-10 at Parramatta’s CommBank Stadium Julia Robinson scores two tries in front of 12,000-strong crowd
A more clinical Queensland team won the opening match of the two-game Origin series 18-10 in an error-riddled game at Sydney’s CommBank Stadium. A two-try haul from Julia Robinson, a dominant showing from Keilee Joseph and some sublime touches from Tamika Upton guided the Maroons to an upset victory in front of over 12,000 fans.
Both teams struggled to hold the ball but it was the Maroons who held their nerve and made the most of their opportunities to claim a famous win in the first multi-game series for the women.
