Ethan Strange has recovered from his ankle injury and will play in the State of Origin decider, after intensive treatment and successful training sessions.
NSW are "very confident" in Ethan Strange's troublesome ankle after clearing the Canberra playmaker to feature in the State of Origin decider.
The Blues had set Monday as D-Day for Strange, who has been fighting to prove his fitness since rolling his left ankle at training on Thursday.
Strange, excellent on debut in the series opener, had undergone extensive treatment and been walking unassisted in NSW camp in recent days.
