Rugby League: Champions ▾

Attendance: 40,000

Series decider. One derived Wikipedia-style summary gave the score as 19-12, which does not reconcile against any scorer breakdown; rugbyleagueproject.org's 27-12 reconciles exactly and is independently corroborated by two other retrospectives, so that is used. Queensland's forward pack shows Billy Moore at second row and Jason Smith at lock rather than their more typical positions -- reported as sourced, likely a positional reshuffle rather than a data error. Queensland's own player-of-the-series award for 1994 (era-name 'Wally Lewis Medal,' now retrospectively the Ron McAuliffe Medal) went to Billy Moore.
