Queensland clinch series

Queensland secured an unprecedented sixth straight State of Origin series triumph thanks to a 34-24 victory in Brisbane.

Their win provided a fitting farewell for Darren Lockyer, the 34-year-old stand-off was hugely influential on his 36th and final Origin appearance at the Suncorp Stadium, where centre Greg Inglis was back to his best with two of the Maroons' six tries.
New South Wales had gone into Wednesday's decider on a high after drawing level in the series with an impressive win in Sydney but they were blown away in the first half, where the home side cruised into a 24-0 lead after 32 minutes.
The Blues rallied briefly but Queensland were generally dominant and not even the loss of scrum-half Johnathan Thurston with a potential season-ending knee injury could take the gloss off their win.
"It's fantastic," Lockyer told the crowd at the end. "I've never been so nervous. It's such a great feeling.
"It is a relief. These guys have been fantastic and it's a great way to finish. It has been a great journey."
Blues coach Ricky Stuart was forced into making late changes, with Jarryd Hayne moving to centre for the injured Michael Jennings and forward Keith Galloway coming in for his debut in the absence of Beau Scott and it took them almost half the game to find their feet.
Lockyer's men were almost perfect as they forced five goal-line drop-outs in the first 23 minutes, although they were indebted to full-back Billy Slater for a try-saving tackle on Morris during a rare break out of defence
The deadlock was broken after 15 minutes when Inglis won the race to Thurston's perfectly-placed kick to the corner to claim his 11th try in 15 Origin appearances.
Thurston curled over the touchline conversion for the first of four successful goal kicks and Queensland doubled their lead after 24 minutes when the impressive Sam Thaiday ran at pace onto Slater's pass to crash over.
It got even better for the Maroons on the half-hour when Lockyer's 40-metre break set up the position for hooker Cameron Smith to burrow his way over from acting half-back and Thurston's third goal made it 18-0.
Two minutes later New South Wales full-back Anthony Minichiello failed to deal with Locker's grubber kick and winger Jharal Yow Yeh hacked the ball on to touch down.
Thurston's fourth goal made it 24-0 but the visitors grabbed themselves a lifeline with two tries in the last three minutes of the first half.
Minichiello made amends for his blunder after the Queensland defence failed to clear a speculative kick from Jamie Soward, who added the conversion before combining with centre Mark Gasnier to carve out a try for winger Akuila Uate.
Queensland suffered a body blow after 56 minutes when Thurston badly damaged his left knee in a collision with team-mate Ashley Harrison but they shrugged off the disappointment when Lockyer combined with Thaiday to get Slater over for his 12th Origin try.
Inglis then powered his way over for his second and Smith kicked the conversion to make it 34-10 before New South Wales restored some pride with a late flourish.
Hayne went over for what turned out to be an eight-point try after Smith was judged to have fouled him in the act of scoring and Greg Bird completed the scoring with his side's fourth try two minutes from the end.
