His girlfriend may not be happy but Queensland centre Will Chambers has vowed not to tone down his physical approach the State of Origin decider despite admitting it "hurt" the Maroons in game two.
Chambers said he could remember little of Queensland's stunning 18-16 Origin II win in Sydney after being concussed when a second-half tackle on NSW flyer Blake Ferguson went awry.
However, he was not made to forget about the attempted tackle after copping an earful from his concerned partner.
"You don't want too many of those head knocks, my missus was into me about it," Chambers said.
The Melbourne star was also kicking himself over the 71st-minute incident.
Chambers ran up out of the line to put a hit on Ferguson, only to clash heads with the NSW flyer and take no further part in the game.
He believed his actions had let Queensland down in the must-win clash.
"It was probably half stupid what I did there but it's part and parcel of the game," Chambers said.
"I came out and tried to put my body on the line and came off second-best, which I thought was the right thing to do at the time but it probably hurt the team.
"You learn from it."
But Chambers said it would not stop him putting his body on the line again in game three, no matter what his girlfriend says.
"That's why people pay big money to come and watch Origin footy," he said.
"It's the pinnacle of our game. It's physical, it's tough and that's why everyone wants to play Origin."
Chambers will look to again shut down rival centre Jarryd Hayne as Queensland look to seal their 11th series win in 12 years.
