New South Wales Blues legend Andrew Johns has predicted debuting fullback Dylan Edwards will lead the Blues to victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with a man-of-the-match performance.

Johns tipped the Blues by 4 points to level the series in Melbourne.

“Payne Haas will turn it on for the Blues and Mitchell Moses’ kicking game will be key as NSW square the ledger in Melbourne,” Johns told The Sydney Morning Herald.

“You can’t underestimate the difference Latrell Mitchell will make to this team and I think the Blues have a point of difference on the bench.”
