- Tarryn Aiken stars as first three-match series concludes
Queensland won the women’s State of Origin decider 22-6 in Townsville to secure their fourth shield in five years thanks to a controlled performance in difficult conditions and a masterful display from five-eighth Tarryn Aiken.
The 24-year-old created two first half tries to give the Maroons a crucial 14-0 half-time lead in wet conditions, and her team’s defence held out the Sky Blues’ late rally in steady rain in North Queensland.
