WOMEN’S STATE OF ORIGIN GAME II
EXCLUSIVE, LIVE AND FREE ON CHANNEL 9HD AND 9NOW
THURSDAY, MAY 15 FROM 7.30PM AEST
The New South Wales Blues have the chance to end Queensland’s series dominance when Ampol Women’s State of Origin Game II is Exclusive, Live and Free on Channel 9 and 9Now, this Thursday, May 15 from 7.30pm AEST.
With a one-nil series lead, the Blues have the chance to avenge their 2024 series loss from the same leading position as they venture onto home soil at Allianz Stadium, Sydney.
While the Maroons will bring their famous underdog tag into this must-win match up as they look to alive in 2025, sending the series to a decider in order to keep their undefeated streak going since Women’s series expanded to multiple games.
On field the best players in the NRLW will go all out. The NSW Blues will boast outside backs Jaime Chapman, Isabelle Kelly and Jess Sergis, however they’ll need to contend with the smarts and desperation of Maroons legends Ali Brigginshaw and Tamika Upton leading a fired up Queensland side.
Hosted by Emma Lawrence, commentary for Nine’s Wide World of Sports features women’s internationals Millie Elliott and Allana Ferguson, Origin legends Phil Gould, Johnathan Thurston and Brad Fittler, sideline reporter Marlee Silva and match caller Peter Psaltis.
During halftime Today hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo will take on the high ball as they try to catch a bomb to win $10,000 for the Mark Hughes Foundation. While one lucky punter also gets the chance to pocket $10,000 themselves. Triple Olympic gold medallist Bronte Campbell also joins the halftime show, ahead of the 2025 Australian Swimming Trials in June, where the Dolphins team is selected for the Swimming World Championships later this year.
Before the action kicks off in Sydney, NRLWRAP will provide a comprehensive Game II preview when host Emma Lawrence, NSW Blues legends Millie Elliott and Allana Ferguson, are joined by special guests Lauren Brown of the Queensland Maroons, NSW Coach John Strange and social influencer Lavender Baj, to break down all the biggest talking points. Shown Wednesday, May 14 on Channel 9 or to stream anywhere, anytime on 9Now.

STATE OF ORIGIN I
WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, AT 7.00PM
EXCLUSIVE, LIVE AND FREE ON NINE
I’m watching it and did’nt notice this 
I did notice the 1st half graphic looks different.
I wonder if this is a one off because the data is probably being provided by SKY?
I don’t think any other Nine games in the round were like this.
Don’t know. Sky doesn’t run tackle counts and clocks as far as I’m aware. @OnAir confirm?
This is definitely new. Previous games out of NZ have been the same as usual. Even with the new graphics as well, Sky’s time still ticks up.
Though it would seem odd to make such a change only on the last game of the round?
Guess we’ll know for sure on Wednesday night.
I hope it’s only a temporary change for whatever reason as I much prefer the “time elapsed” clock.
Sky didn’t have tackle and score graphics up until the 36th minute tonight - so may have had something to do with it.
Scoreboard at the ground with SKY bug has a countdown clock. Might not be the one SKY puts to air, i also note it’s two seconds different to the one Nine has on screen.
Sorry mate I meant for network feed - it’s just clean with just the Sky replay wipes showing up etc. No other markers coming down the feed to Australia?
If they are relaunching the graphics on Wednesday night, this might be part of the changes and they wanted to test it on a lower-stakes broadcast first. Just a theory though (and an assumption that new graphics are coming).
But the graphic in the scorebug is new, so it seems to be a deliberate choice.
I am fairly sure most clocks at the grounds do count down rather than up.
