U19s Origin LIVE: Brawl erupts as Raiders star helps NSW to lead ...
Raiders rising star and Blues U19 fullback Chevy Stewart has had an outstanding game in what has been a fiery U19s Origin clash. NSW lead QLD 10-6 at halftime.
Stewart, who is the most experienced NRL player on the field (3 games), found some space close to the line before taking on a couple of defenders and proving too strong to give NSW the lead in the 8th minute.
The Maroons would hit back with a 22nd minute try to level things up.
Stewart was also in the middle of a fracas between 10-12 players which spilled over the sideline, but it was broken up fairly quickly.
