Australia face Samoa in Sydney on Sunday morning with both sides desperate to book their spot in the 2026 Rugby League World Cup final.
Reigning champions Australia are the most successful team in Rugby League World Cup history with the Kangaroos lifting the trophy a record 12 times.
Kevin Walters's side, who have reached the final in the last 13 editions of the tournament dating back to 1968, beat Samoa in the final back in 2022 (the delayed 2021 World Cup) and they'll be hoping history repeats itself on Sunday.
Australia won their first three matches against New Zealand, Fiji and Cook Islands to set up Sunday's semi-final showdown and they'll be hoping the home advantage pays off.
Samoa, who beat France and Papua New Guinea before losing 20-18 to Tonga in their last outing, made their first ever appearance in the final four years ago, but they face an uphill task to get the better of the most successful team in the competition's history.
