Game 1, 1995 State of Origin

May 15, 1995 · Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney

Game 1, 1995 State of Origin: Queensland 2–0 New South Wales, at Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney on May 15, 1995.

Attendance: 39,184

The first try-less State of Origin match -- decided by a single Wayne Bartrim penalty goal. No Man of the Match source was found for this game. New South Wales' halves pairing is a genuine unresolved conflict between sources over whether Andrew Johns or Matthew Johns wore #6 vs #7 in this specific game (both brothers were in the side, and this was early in Andrew Johns' representative career) -- the pairing recorded here (Matthew at five-eighth, Andrew at halfback) is the more commonly cited version, but flagged as not fully independently confirmed.
