Sydney Roosters fullback James Tedesco has been named to Captain the NSW Blues in State of Origin III at Accor Stadium on Wednesday July 12.
The five-time Jack Gibson Medal winner will make his 22nd consecutive appearance for the Blues next week since making his Origin debut in 2016.
Flick Passes Aplenty
In Round 18, Tedesco recorded a personal season-high of 299 run metres, bagging one try and breaking six tackles to keep the Tricolours in the game and he'll be looking to produce a similar performance in front of a home crowd for Game III.
