N\ufeffSW<\/a> have named an unchanged squad for the Women's State of Origin<\/a> decider, with coach Kylie Hilder confident her side can overcome the devastating game two loss.<\/p>\n

After a dominant performance in the series opener, the Sky Blues fell agonisingly short in rainy conditions against the Maroons in Newcastle, forcing the first decider in women's Origin history.<\/p>\n

The only minor adjustment to the line-up will see Olivia Kernick start in the No.13 jumper and Roosters teammate Keeley Davis dropping to the bench, as they had done in the previous two matches before kick-off.<\/p>\n

"Olivia started for us in games one and two in the lock position, coming off the bench, so I've just formalised that now," Hilder said.<\/p>\n

"We came very close to wrapping up the series in game two, and the girls are very focused that we get another chance to do that in Townsville."<\/p>\n

Rachael Pearson has retained her spot at halfback despite a disappointing performance in game two in a surprising call from Hilder and the selectors, with premiership-winning Knights playmaker Jesse Southwell again overlooked for NSW duties.<\/p>\n
