State of Origin II kicks off in Perth as NSW seek to avenge their first-game ...

The second match of the State Of Origin 2019 series has kicked off.

The New South Wales Blues will lose the series if they suffer another defeat following Queensland's 18-14 victory at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane earlier this month.   

If the Blues can snatch victory, the series will be decided in Sydney in July. 

Fans have already begun to fill the stadium in anticipation of tonight's game.

The stage is set for prop Jarrod Wallace to finally make the most of his State of Origin chance, according to Queensland assistant coach Justin Hodges.

A media ban was placed on Wallace before Sunday's Origin II in Perth as the Gold Coast Titans forward prepared to let his football do the talking in his Maroons return.

Wallace was dropped for Queensland's series opening victory after a quiet start for NRL club Gold Coast and criticism of his Origin efforts in 2018.

Hodges said Wallace now had his chance to silence his critics when he comes off the bench in his sixth Origin.

'He had his opportunity last year and let it go,' Hodges said.

'That's what happens in Origin football, you miss those moments because the game goes so quickly.

'But he understands now. He will be fine.'

Wallace came under fire for his displays as starting prop last year, managing just 52m in game one and 43m in Origin II before he produced 82m after being relegated to the bench for the dead rubber.

Hodges also backed Dylan Napa to fire despite the starting prop nursing a broken wrist.

'He is carrying an injury but he is fine. All week he has done all the tests that he has needed to do,' he said.

'And once you are out there and the adrenaline is flowing, you don't feel the niggles until after the game.

'We support him, he was honest with us during the week.

'But you have got to have a player like that in your side; he is very intimidating.'

Hodges also agreed Moses Mbye had been in a 'bad way' after a severe allergic reaction but says nothing will stop the utility playing in State of Origin II in Perth.

Maroons team doctor Matt Hislop found Mbye slumped on the floor at the team's Perth hotel on Friday after the Wests Tigers captain called him for help.

It is believed Mbye went into anaphylactic shock and his airways were closing before
