Last night’s State Of Origin decider rated a massive 2.468m for Nine on Wednesday night. However, the big game failed to dent Ten’s audience for Masterchef which saw 1.701m tune in to see the disqualification of contestant Mat Beyer.

Taking into account regional Australia, State Of Origin averaged 3.765m – a record for the game since OzTam rankings began.
