Fire up for the decider by reliving the best moments from Games I and II.

With Origin III just around the corner, rugby league fans have again been treated to a roller-coaster of a ride in 2015. From Cooper Cronk's match-winning field goal, to David Klemmer "showing respect to the Queensland old-timers", Robbie Farah's injury woes, Greg Inglis' contentious no-try decision, and a record crowd in Melbourne, this year's State of Origin series so far has been one for the ages.

The penultimate game could begin a new legacy built by the young bucks New South Wales fans have craved, or it could be one of many fairytale finishes for the aging Maroon legends.

Here at Inside Sport, we've compiled the best images snapped by the Getty Images photographers in 2015's series so far.
