Johns backing New South Wales to perform

By: Nick Walker | Latest Rugby League News | Wednesday June 13 2012 8:15

 

New South Wales playing great Andrew Johns is adamant the Blues will beat the Maroons in game two of State of Origin in Sydney tonight.

A loss for the Blues would see the Queensland juggernaut roll to a seventh straight title.

Johns says they'll be heartened by their victory at the same venue a year ago.

"I'm real confident at home. The game they played at ANZ last year was a huge step forward for the nucleus of this team, I think they got great confidence from that win."

Johns jokes that allowing Billy Slater to touch the ball once a half and making Johnathan Thurston play with a hand tied behind his back would also help.
