Former Fiji Bati forward and NSW Blues debutant Reagan Campbell‑Gillard is set for an explosive State of Origin series opener with the Queensland Maroons tonight.

Campbell‑Gillard said last week that he was looking forward to "crushing some blokes" in the Maroons outfit and the comment has not been lost on the Queensland forwards who intend to test whether the NSW forward's bite is big as his bark at the MCG tonight.

Maroons prop Dylan Napa is expected to be on a mission to unsettle the new Blues pack with some of his trademark hits in the middle.

The Maroons will take on the NSW Blues at 10 tonight at the MCG Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
