Queensland has named an unchanged line-up to face the NSW Blues in the Origin decider at ANZ Stadium on Wednesday week.

Fresh from their 30-0 demolition job in Origin II, Maroon selectors have stuck with an identical starting line-up to the one which took the field at Suncorp Stadium.

Melbourne hooker Cameron Smith will again captain the team in the absence of inspirational Broncos pivot Darren Lockyer.

The Maroons face a tough task at Sydney's ANZ Stadium where they have won just one match and drawn another in 13 games.

Tony Archer has been retained as referee for the Origin series decider despite criticism from the losers in the first two matches.
