Canberra Raider Hudson Young has retained his spot in the NSW Blues squad for the State of Origin Game III decider, set to be played at Accor Stadium in Sydney on Wednesday, July 9.

Coach Laurie Daley has shown faith in the side that narrowly lost Game II in Perth, naming an unchanged starting 17. Young, who impressed off the bench, will once again line up in the No.16 jersey as the Blues fight to reclaim the Origin Shield.

Young will enter the Blues camp this week, with preparations kicking off in the Blue Mountains.
