State of Origin: A Lauren Brown field goal saw the Maroons clinch an unlikely Game two victory in Newcastle, sending women's origin to a decider in Townsville!
Even torrential rain couldn’t discourage Newcastle from turning out for a historic night of women’s rugby league .
On Saturday, the NRL announced the match at the 33,000 capacity stadium was a sell out, following up the record crowd from game one, which saw 25,492 fans at Suncorp Stadium. Despite the horrendous conditions, the fixture set a new Women’s Origin record for the fourth straight match with an official attendance of 25,782.
But not only was the crowd part of history, they were treated to a match that lived up to its historic billing as it went right down to the wire.Watch every game of every round this NRL Telstra Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo.
