HEAD TO HEAD: Played 125: Australia 93, New Zealand 29, Drawn 3. LAST TIME: Australia 32 defeated New Zealand 12, April 19, 2013 in Canberra
MISSING IN ACTION: Stephen Kearney has pulled the plug on Frank Pritchard’s comeback after he failed to recover from a hamstring injury which ruled him out of last week’s semi-final against England.
Meanwhile, international winger of the year Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (ankle) and Manu Vatuvei (groin) were in doubt but have been named in a 19-man squad after returning to regular training during the week.

Australia coach Tim Sheens has named Billy Slater, who suffered a knee injury, after he also returned to full training for the first time on Wednesday following a fortnight of rehab.
FORM: Australia will head into the Rugby League World Cup final as hot favourites thanks to a series of exceptional results in the build-up. Since beating tournament hosts England 28-20 in their opening game, the nine-time world champions have conceded a mere two points.
The Kangaroos also lead the way in tries scored (43), tackle busts (205), metres gained (8088) and line breaks (48), while they have missed the least amount of tackles (41) by any of the 14 nations.
The scary part is Australia have seemingly found another gear during each outing.
After beating Fiji 34-2 in the group stage, the Kangaroos romped past the same opposition 64-0 in the semi-finals, continuing a trend that has seen them increase their winning margin in each of the five matches they have played.
New Zealand’s campaign has followed a similar trend. Samoa caused a brief scare early on, but since then it has been relatively smooth sailing for the Kiwis.
That was until a Sam Burgess-inspired England came to within seconds of sending the defending champions home with a certificate of participation at Wembley Stadium last week.
On paper, New Zealand are the perfect match for Australia, but, as is often the case, the Kiwis suffer from an inability to produce a high level of performance for long periods.
This was evident as Samoa piled on four tries in the space of 14 minutes and if France, Papua New Guinea and Scotland had similar firepower they would have done the same as Kearney’s men took their foot off the pedal at various stages.
Nevertheless, Shaun Johnson’s last-gasp try earned New Zealand a spot in their third consecutive Rugby League World Cup final and not many would argue they deserve to be there.
WE THINK: Playmakers, backs and forwards. Australia hold an undeniable advantage in two of those three categories, while New Zealand will claim they have the best group of big men in the world at the moment.
The problem is, England showed New Zealand up in the tight exchanges last week and Australia certainly have the ability to replicate that.
It is no surprise Paul Gallen is the 2013 Rugby League World Cup’s leading forward with 690 metres gained over 80 strong carries. He is also joined by mammoth props Andrew Fifita (633) and James Tamou (558) on the top-10 list of metre-makers.
So, then, where do we see New Zealand’s best chance of defying the odds?
The Kiwis cannot rely on Australia to make the same amount of mistakes as they did in 2008. This year’s ANZAC Test, and all of Australia’s matches since, showed that probably won’t happen.
A solid performance up front is key. Keep Australia on the back foot and you take the likes of Cameron Smith, Jonathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Greg Inglis and Billy Slater out of the equation.
If New Zealand fail to achieve that vital first step, as they did in April, and begin to rely on the likes of Isaac Luke and Shaun Johnson to pull a rabbit out of the hat, then they are as good as gone.
Because Australia haven’t been challenged so far in this tournament New Zealand need to knock their confidence early in the hope that it will keep them from finding their rhythm.
But, in reality, it’s hard not to think Australia will be too much to handle for the Kiwis.
Thurston has the instinctive ability to call plays on the run and with pressure mounting against him. On the opposite edge, Cronk has proven himself to be a match-winner with the boot while he can also read defences quite well.
Backed by a posse of superstars, we think Australia will avenge their heartbreaking loss in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup final by a healthy margin in this one.
