Blues coach Laurie Daley confirms Ethan Strange will play as a bench back-rower in Origin II.
NSW coach Laurie Daley says Ethan Strange is set to be used off the bench as a back-rower in Wednesday's State of Origin II at the MCG.
Strange made an impressive debut as Blues five-eighth when he was a late replacement for the injured Mitchell Moses (hamstring) in Origin I last month.
Strange was included on the Blues interchange bench to face the Maroons in Origin II, with Moses named to start despite doubt over his fitness.
