The second clash of the 2026 State of Origin series is upon us.
Game II kicks off on Wednesday night and as is the case every year, all three games are scheduled for a start time of 8.05pm AEST.
But Origin rarely begins on time, so kick-off is more likely to be at 8.15pm due to the pre-match ceremony.
