NSW Blues Coach Laurie Daley has today confirmed his lineup for next Wednesday's State of Origin season opener on June 1 against Queensland at ANZ Stadium.
Having initially named several debutants in a 19-man squad on Monday, Daley had already confirmed that Josh Morris and Tyson Frizell had been omitted from the team.
Today, the Coach confirmed the final 17 with Wests Tigers duo Aaron Woods and Robbie Farah both named in the starting lineup — as they have been in every Origin since Game II, 2013.
Be there to cheer the boys on when they take on South Sydney Rabbitohs on June 10!
