'1990 New South Wales clinch State of Origin series winning first match ever played in Melbourne.'
"The New South Wales Blues clinched the 1990 State of Origin series by defeating the Queensland Maroons 12-6 in Game 2 on May 30, 1990.
This historic match was the first-ever State of Origin game played in Melbourne, expanding the traditional cross-border rivalry to a neutral venue.
The match was played before a sell-out crowd of 25,800 fans at Olympic Park (not the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which didn't host its first Origin match until 1994).
