Mitch Moses will be handed the number seven jumper in an attempt to rescue the State of Origin series for New South Wales.
The Parramatta halfback will replace Nicho Hynes in the Blues side for Origin II at the MCG on June 26.
Hynes was disappointing in Origin I and with Nathan Cleary still unavailable through injury, it will be up to Moses to try to guide NSW to a series-levelling victory in Melbourne.
Dylan Edwards (Penrith Panthers), Latrell Mitchell (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Cameron Murray (South Sydney Rabbitohs) and Connor Watson (Sydney Roosters) come into the line-up as part of a series of changes to the Blues’ team.
