Queensland captain Cameron Munster insists prop Tino Fa'asuamaleaui will do his late father Fereti proud when he plays through heartache at the MCG.
Fa'asuamaleaui, 26, left camp on the Sunshine Coast late last week after his father's passing to spend time with his family.
He re-joined teammates in Melbourne on Sunday night and trained with the side on Tuesday before playing in his 17th State of Origin match for Queensland on Wednesday night.
Last year, Munster's father Steven died while the Maroons were in camp on the Sunshine Coast preparing for the decider in Sydney.
He left camp to grieve with his family before returning to play an inspirational and emotional role in a famous 24-12 win.
"We have obviously gone through some tough times me and Tino so I know exactly how he is feeling," Munster said on Tuesday.
