Last night’s State of Origin II clash saw 2.616m metro viewers tune in to watch NSW race to victory over Queensland, meaning the third match will now be the series decider, handing Nine an easy win with an audience share of 38.7 per cent.

It was up on game one which saw 2.432m metro viewers tune in, while last year’s second game was watched by 2.563m. The total audience figure accounts for the 134,000 Perth viewers who watched the game on Gem.
