Mitchell Barnett has been named to make his New South Wales debut in the State of Origin

One New Zealand Warriors forward Mitchell Barnett has been named to make his New South Wales debut in the State of Origin series decider against Queensland at Suncorp Stadium on July 17.

After making five changes for Game Two in Melbourne, Blues coach Michael Maguire has brought back Best to replace the injured Latrell Mitchell, and Barnett will take the place of interchange forward Haumole Olakau'atu.

Despite the Warriors potentially being without one of their best performers for the next few rounds, couch Andrew Webster was ecstatic at the call-up saying "Some people are made for Origin, and he's made for it. This is his arena. It's tough, it's hard, it's about detail because you've got to get together quick, you've got to be a good person and mix well in a short space of time ... the harder it gets, the better he gets. That's what Origin is."
