State of Origin viewers left confused with a NSW wardrobe malfunction

James Tedesco had the misfortune of having his whole rear exposed to the Sydney's Accor Stadium in the course of one tackle.

It was repeated during the match, which led to several remarks made about it during the game through social media.

Many even were accused by Queensland of using the technique to put the shorts on at every tackle, delay play while players put on their best.

The Maroons have defeated the Blues 16-10, on the back of three attempts at the Origin game that been absolutely everything, with the controversial final in Accor Stadium.

The Maroons had a lead of 16-4 with just eight minutes remaining before an Cameron Murray try gave the Blues the chance to earn golden point.

The Blues were rattled in the opening minutes, when the star lock Yeo injured when attempting to make the first tackle of the game however, he was allowed to continue by an independent doctor.

"Drama in the first carry of Origin," Matt Thompson declared during an interview with Channel 9. "If the independent doctor doesn't see Isaah Yeo, I don't know what they're doing," Ryan Girdler said on Triple M.

Wighton grabbed the pass of Jarome Luai, who was able to show and then score his first try of the night , proving Brad Fittler's brave decision to put him in the centre right.

The motion was triggered with a stunning passing by Damien Cook that impressed Blues legend Andrew Johns. "Just watch the pass from Damien Cook," Johns stated.

"It is like a shot. And he slams through three Queensland defenses, and then creates an opening to the outside.

"He is able to get Nathan Cleary straight to the edge of the field for the show-and-go. At this point, you have your strikers one-onone, you're good to go. Check out this play."

Billy Slater made an early switch, by bringing Patrick Carrigan on for Josh Papalii and immediately scored the biggest smash.

"Well, he's certainly made an impact straight away with that carry then but also in the carry in the set before," Slater stated on Channel 9.

"We know what Paddy is capable of and we wanted Papa to lay that platform for us and he's certainly made himself known out there."

Slater was also able to replace the hooker Ben Hunt with Harry Grant around the halfway point of the first period with a masterful tactical move which turned the tide.

The Maroons were shaken by a sprain to the winger Xavier Coates, with an ankle injury that forced him to be taken off. was later disqualified from the game.

"He can't play. He took a hit after which he was unable to run." Coates was declared out from the game a few minutes later.

"I've just had confirmation from their bench that Xavier Coates will not be back tonight," Danika Mason stated.

"Unfortunately it is all feared what we thought it would be, an ankle sprain, a syndesmosis, and his night is over."

Selwyn Cobbo scored a stunning kick-back on the inside to place the ball on a tray to allow Dane Gagai to score his 12th attempt in his 20 Origins to allow the Maroons the lead of 4-4.

"Well, he's left-handed and left-footed, he puts that on the right boot," Johns told me. "He's always played right. He's had a dozen or so games during the first grade.
