Joseph Sua'ali'i was sent off just eight minutes into his State of Origin debut for a high tackle on Reece Walsh, who was knocked out cold and will play no further part in the game. Sua'ali'i, who is set to move to rugby union next year, became only the sixth player in Origin history to be sent off. The rookie's Origin career started with this incident, leading to a four-game suspension with an early guilty plea. Queensland emerged victorious in the series opener, defeating New South Wales 38-10. Maroons assistant coach Nate Myles received an official warning for verbally abusing Sua'ali'i, who is also Rugby Australia's million-dollar recruit, following the incident.
