Most iconic State of Origin game

I was more interested in playing football, schoolwork and chasing girls.

Game 2 of the 1989 series, the gutsiest performance I have seen of either side. Queensland lost Langer, Meninga, Vautin, Hancock and Linder during the match and were down to a 12 player side late in the second half and still won 16-12. Wally Lewis scored one of the most famous tries in origin history thanks to a Gillmeister tackle special. The Sydney crowd even gave the Queenslanders a standing ovation afterwards for their amazing effort.
