XXXX Queensland Maroons coach Kevin Walters has today confirmed his starting line-up for Game II of the Holden State of Origin series at Suncorp Stadium next week.

Bronco Josh McGuire will wear the No.10 jersey in his first starting appearance after Nate Myles was ruled out with a knee injury earlier this week.

Jacob Lillyman, Queensland’s 18th man in Game I, will come off the bench.

Premiership-winning Cowboys forward Ethan Lowe is the 18th man, with the 2016 QAS Emerging Origin squad member to join Camp Maroon at Sanctuary Cove this Friday.

Cowboys team-mate Kyle Feldt is due to arrive in Queensland camp for the first time tonight, and will run with the team at its first field session tomorrow.

Dane Gagai has a muscle strain which is responding well to treatment. Team medical staff expect the Knights flyer to run by the weekend.
