There was nothing resembling a speed bump for the Aussie women through the group stages as they won their three games against Samoa, England and Wales by a combined 242-6.

Then came the semifinal against Fiji, which was supposed to be a similar story but the Bulikula staged an early ambush for an early 8-0 lead. It may not sound like much, but it wasn't just the score, it was the way Fiji went about it, dominating with physicality and skill.

The Jillaroos eventually resettled for a 30-14 win, and more than a few of them said it was just the sort of hit-out they needed before the final.

Fiji was also right in the game against the Kiwi Ferns to kick off their tournament, before a last-minute Leianne Tufuga try gave New Zealand an 18-12 win.

Then they went 92-0 over France, 40-12 over Papua New Guinea, and 32-0 over Samoa.

Pretty similar journeys, albeit in reverse order, for both teams. So hopefully it leads to a very even contest this afternoon.

The Australians and the New Zealand have split all six women's world titles since they started playing World Cups back in 2000.

The Kiwi Ferns won the first three, before the Jillaroos won in 2013, 2017 and 2022.

So this afternoon will be the tie-breaker.

The Jillaroos and Kangaroos haven't been the only ones representing Australia at this Rugby League World Cup.

The Wheelaroos have also wrapped up their campaign with third place in the wheelchair event, while England beat France the final.

The only change for either of these teams is a massive call by Jillaroos coach Jess Skinner, subbing out five-eighth Jocelyn Kelleher for Jesse Southwell.

Southwell only played in the 124-6 win over Wales, while Kelleher has been one of Australia's best throughout the tournament, pairing perfectly with Sydney Roosters' premiership-winning teammate Tarryn Aiken.

Not only has Kelleher lost her starting gig, she's been completely cut from the 17.

The women's final between Australia and New Zealand is first up from 3:10pm AEST.

Then there will be a little bit of a gap to the men's decider, from 6:35pm AEST.
