Women's State of Origin Game 3 AS IT HAPPENED: Romy Teitzel and Chelsea Lenarduzzi salvage it for Maroons as whitewash avoided

Thanks for joining us!

A dramatic end to game three as the Maroons hold on to win it.

But this year's series belongs to NSW, who regain the shield with a 2-1 triumph.

Olivia Kernick gets the Nellie Doherty Medal.

The superstar Blues forward is crowned Player of the Series across the three games.

It's a bittersweet night for the Blues, who will get to lift the Origin shield but will be disappointed not to have closed it out 3-0 on their home turf.

Queensland showed plenty of grit to fight back from behind in the second half and it was a credit to their never-say-die attitude.

Huge drama on the final play!

Lenarduzzi is sin binned for a professional foul and the Blues go on the attack.

Eventually, after the ball flying around everywhere, Queensland hold on to win!

The visitors claim it 18-14 to finish the series.

NSW go for the short kick off, but Chapman is penalised for touching the ball before it travels the required 10 metres.

A poor pass to Aiken on last tackle hits the deck and the Blues scoop it up.

Southwell places a kick into the in-goal and Robinson bats it dead.

Less than one minute to go and NSW need to score!

Lenarduzzi is over!

The big Maroons forward barges her way past a stack of NSW defenders and the lead has changed again in the final game of the series.

"Her work tonight has been outstanding," Phil Gould said on Nine.

What can the Blues muster up now? Four minutes to go and history on the line.

Togatuki is forced from the field after being left on wobbly legs from a nasty head knock and the Blues prop's night is definitely over.

Kelleher comes up with an error and the captain's challenge is denied.

Just over five mintues to go and this one is still up for grabs.

NSW make an error inside their own half to invite Queensland back into the game.

"That's a lazy one," Phil Gould said on Nine.

Aiken grubbers it into the in-goal and Teitzel pounces, scoring next to the posts.

Big moment for the Maroons and it's game on!

Lenarduzzi gives away a penalty and the Blues get another chance in the red zone.

Kelleher gets put straight through a gaping hole and NSW extend their lead.

That's a crucial try in the context of this match. Blues lead 14-6 in the second half.

Church spills it as Queensland chase through, but they can't scoop it up and knock it on.

The referee rules that the Blues fullback's initial touch went backwards.

Church finds herself in open space after a well-timed offload coming out of trouble.

The attacking territory doesn't result in points, despite a trademark break from Apps.

Good defence from the Maroons.
