A significant Telstra network outage on Wednesday caused disruption ahead of the decisive State of Origin rugby league match at SunCorp stadium. Initial concerns arose that the game might proceed without the use of video reviews, a critical component for officiating in modern rugby league.
However, officials were able to implement a workaround. The match's video bunker system was relocated and is now operating from a television truck on-site in Brisbane, ensuring the review process can continue.
Further details on the cause and extent of the Telstra outage are expected.
