'The Jillaroos are on a mission to right the wrongs of last year's defeat as they gear up to take on the Kiwi Ferns in a showdown that has been a long time coming.

A win in the group stage may have been a good start, but as they say in the game, the job is only half done until they secure victory in the final match.

The Jillaroos managed to get one over New Zealand on their home turf recently, but they know that it's not over until the final whistle blows.

Their loss in last year's Pacific Cup final still stings, snapping a seven-year unbeaten streak against the Kiwis.

It's time for the Jillaroos to put an end to their own seven-year drought and bring home the win on Aussie soil when they step onto the field in Sydney this weekend.

The match at CommBank Stadium is a sellout, with fans eagerly anticipating a thrilling showdown between these fierce rivals.

The fact that the game is being played in Parramatta adds an extra layer of intensity, especially after the Jillaroos suffered a shocking defeat at the same venue in 2019.

Memories of their loss to New Zealand in the World Cup Nines final still linger, serving as fuel for the fire burning within Jillaroos skipper Ali Brigginshaw and her team.

But it's not just about revenge for Brigginshaw.

It's about setting a standard and playing to their full potential.

The bitter taste of defeat in Melbourne last year is still fresh in their minds, especially after a stunning victory in the World Cup final just a year prior.

As they say in the world of Rugby League, it's all about redemption and proving themselves on the biggest stage.

The Jillaroos are ready to show what they're made of and emerge victorious in this epic showdown.'
