The second game of the State of Origin will be broadcast exclusively on Channel Nine and 9Now from Sunday, June 26, at 7.00pm AEST.
The New South Wales Blues are out to level the series at Optus Stadium in Perth after being out-muscled in Sydney by the Queensland Maroons in the opening game of the series.
Hosted by James Bracey, the Wide World of Sports commentary team for Origin II features a lineup of rugby league greats, with Andrew Johns, Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Phil Gould, Paul Vautin, Paul Gallen, and Darren Lockyer all on hand to analyse every moment, and Mat Thompson calling the game live, flanked by Johns and Smith.
During the game, Wide World of Sports will cross live to both Origin coaches, Billy Slater and Brad Fittler, for their view on the progress of their teams.
Danika Mason will deliver all the breaking news from the sideline alongside Gallen, and Allana Ferguson will join the panel in Perth. 9Now will stream the game live with four additional streams to choose from:
• Coaches Cam – A split-screen of NSW coach Brad Fittler and QLD coach Billy Slater
