Queensland missed 55 tackles in their game one State of Origin loss but there was one in particular that remains burned on the mind of Cameron Munster.
The Maroons pivot insists he isn't one to dwell on games once they're played, but was still quick to volunteer the one moment he wants to avoid a repeat of in Sunday's must-win clash.
"Probably that tackle at marker against Tedesco ... I had a full chance to tackle him, went low and he slipped through and they scored," he told AAP.
"Hopefully I don't make that one again on Sunday ... I move on but that was something that stuck in my head after the game."
Munster knows it will be those small margins that will decide the contest in Sydney after the Blues did it better in a 22-12 MCG victory.

"It doesn't change my approach," he said
"I'm just one of them guys that loves playing, it's just a privilege and exciting.
"I love having my back against the wall; it makes me strive a little better on the big stage."
