NSW will start Matt Moylan at five-eighth for Wednesday night's State of Origin dead rubber against Queensland.
The Blues had named Jack Bird at No.6 for the game-three clash at ANZ Stadium but have made an expected late change with Penrith skipper Moylan coming into the starting line-up.
It's a turnaround for Moylan after being initially overlooked by Blues selectors when the team for game three had been originally named.
Adam Reynolds' shoulder injury opened the door for Moylan to be recalled for his third Origin appearance.
Bird, playing his second Origin, will take on a utility role from the interchange bench.
