Maroons denied in final minute thriller

A pair of try-saving tackles helped New South Wales claim the women's State of Origin series against a spirited Harvey Queensland Maroons team.

The Blues beat Queensland 14-10 in a thrilling contest at a wet Suncorp Stadium, with Maroons winger Jasmine Peters denied on two occasions in the final 15 minutes.

Jesse Southwell produced the first tackle to take the winger into touch before Teagan Berry came up with a series-winning play with 24 seconds left in the match. 

Queensland went from elation to devastation with Peters' 70th-minute effort originally awarded before the Bunker saw a foot on the touchline and disallowed the try. 

The result handed NSW an unassailable 2-0 series lead heading into Game Three on the Gold Coast.

Queensland roared to life with tries from Rory Owen and Jada Ferguson either side of half-time, but ultimately handling errors proved the difference.

NEW SOUTH WALES 14 (Jaime Chapman, Keeley Nizza, Jessica Sergis tries; Jesse Southwell goal) def QUEENSLAND 10 (Rory Owen, Jada Ferguson tries; Lauren Brown goal) at Suncorp Stadium.

Half-time: NSW 8-6
