State of Origin game two brings 1.96m metro viewers to Nine

The second clash between the NSW Blues and the Queensland Maroons has brought 1.96m metro viewers to Nine, a drop from 2.178m for game one which aired on a Wednesday night.

This is the second year that game two has been played on a Sunday night, instead of the traditional Wednesday. Last night’s game, however, was also down on last year’s game two, which had 2.09m according to OzTAM’s preliminary overnight figures, and 2.123m according to Nine’s time-adjusted figures.

Last night’s Sunday game was played in Perth.
