New South Wales have called up Sydney Roosters halfback Brett Finch for the second State of Origin game after Brett Kimmorley was ruled out. Melbourne Storm's Matt Orford was originally drafted into the Blues line-up to replace Kimmorley but withdrew due to a leg injury.
Cronulla's Kimmorley was sidelined for Wednesday's game against Queensland after damaging a hamstring in training.
NSW lead the Origin series 1-0 thanks to a 9-8 golden point win in game one.
