Last night’s State of Origin I clash saw 2.432m tune in to witness Queensland’s narrow victory over NSW, handing Nine an easy win with an audience share of 37.6 per cent.

It was slightly down on last year’s game one which attracted 2.487m metro viewers, while 2013’s game one was watched by 2.433m. Last year’s second game grabbed a metro crowd of 2.563m, with 2.1m metro viewers tuning in to see NSW win the series in game three.

The pre-match broadcast was watched by 1.549m, with 1.019m sticking around for the post-match broadcast according to OzTam overnight metro figures, which do not take into account out of home viewing.
