Latrell Mitchell poised for Blues recall as Jarome Luai makes Maroons squad

The stage is set for a blockbuster State of Origin decider with New South Wales and Queensland finalising their 17-man squads for Game Three at Accor Stadium on July 12.

After sealing the series in Perth last week, the Blues have made just one change, recalling Latrell Mitchell at the expense of Angus Crichton.

Matt Burton has been named at fullback, while Mitchell will start at left centre with Stephen Crichton shifted to right centre.

The Maroons have made four changes to their team, with Joseph Tapine, Jason Taumalolo, Murray Taulagi and Tom Dearden all axed.

Felise Kaufusi, Pat Carrigan, Harry Grant and Cameron Munster will all return from injury, while Kurt Capewell and Jeremiah Nanai have been brought into the starting side.
