NSW Blues Captain Boyd Cordner is embracing the State of Origin hate after touching down in enemy territory.

The Blues are finalising their preparations for game one as they prepare to upset Queensland on home soil in their pursuit of retaining the State of Origin shield.

They were welcomed by a handful of supporters at Brisbane Airport but are preparing for an onslaught of animosity from 50,000 Queenslanders tomorrow.

Brad Fittler's side will have their captain's run at Suncorp Stadium this afternoon.

The Blues face the Maroons in Game 1 of the 2019 State of Origin at 10pm tomorrow.
