Q’land beat rivals
NZPA-AAP Brisbane The New South Wales rugby league coach. Frank. Stanton, has forecast changes to the Blues combination humiliated by Queensland 29-12 in the opening State of Origin series match at Lang Park. “While I can't comment on selection matters, I would imagine a number of positions would be under review following that performance,” Stanton said after the game. Queensland scored six tries to one to totally outclass their southern opponents. The Maroons try tally included a hat-trick by Manly-Warringah’s darting winger, Kerry Boustead. The scoreline would have been greater but for the inaccurate boot of the Queensland centre, Mai Meninga, who kicked only two of eight attempts. It was Queensland’s seventh State of Origin victory in nine matches against the Blues since the new format for interstate matches began in 1980. Queensland has won all four previous series.
