Queensland

China Polata will make her Origin debut after being called on to the wing in place of Julia Robinson, who is ruled out with suspension for her elbow strike on Isabelle Kelly in Game One. That is the only change made by coach Tahnee Norris, with Tallisha Harden remaining as 18th player. 

New South Wales

Veterans Simaima Taufa and Tiana Penitani are both good to go after missing Game One through injury, while co-captain Isabelle Kelly is cleared to return after suffering a throat injury in the series opener. Kezie Apps will start at prop in her 11th game at this level and become the Sky Blues' most capped player. There are no late changes, with Kennedy Cherrington remaining on the bench after being a late inclusion in the run-on side for Game One.
