Australia will meet New Zealand in the Rugby League World Cup final after beating Samoa 44-12 in the semi-final.
The Kangaroos defeated New Zealand 24-22 in the tournament's opening game, and supporters will be hoping for another close contest.
Reece Walsh won player of the match after scoring three tries, but many Australian fans believed Cameron Munster deserved the award.
The Queensland and Melbourne Storm playmaker produced his strongest performance of the tournament, with three try assists, two linebreak assists, one linebreak and six successful conversions from eight attempts.
Munster helped connect Australia's forwards and backs as the team found its rhythm in the knockout match.
Walsh was highly dangerous in attack, though a mistake under a high ball led to a try for Samoa's Stephen Crichton in the 60th minute.
Walsh lost control after jumping for a kick, and the ball bounced into Crichton's hands.
The fullback celebrated his hat-trick with a backflip, but coach Kevin Walters spoke to him at half-time about avoiding another elaborate celebration.
Walters said, "That's just Reece, he's always brings up something that you don't expect and the backflip was no different,"
He added, "Tonight was a really good performance. I still think there's a bit more in us too, so that's exciting.
Walters also said, "the middle forwards, I thought they stood up really well, they've been questioned and criticised by some people but not within the group."
Munster, Queensland's captain, will have the chance to help Australia secure another World Cup title in the final against New Zealand next week.
