The Kangaroos are gearing up for a showdown with the Kiwis and coach Mal Meninga is sticking with the same winning formula that took down Tonga.
Meninga, a legend of the game with a career like a freight train charging through the opposition, is hoping for more attacking flair from his boys in green and gold.
Meninga, known for his tough, no-nonsense approach, has confirmed that there will be no changes to the spine of the team for the upcoming match.
With the likes of Dylan Edwards, Tom Dearden, Mitchell Moses, and Harry Grant forming the backbone of the team, Meninga is banking on their chemistry to improve and ignite the attacking potential of the team.
The Kangaroos managed to bag three tries in their previous match, with a mix of creativity and individual brilliance shining through.
However, Meninga is looking for a more cohesive effort from his players, like a well-oiled machine operating with precision and finesse.
Despite the lack of experience playing together as a unit, Meninga is confident in his squad's abilities.
With no injuries to report, the team is gearing up for a final training session before jetting off to Christchurch for the anticipated showdown.
As the Kangaroos prepare to take on the Kiwis, Meninga is keeping a close eye on his players, like a hawk circling its prey.
The experienced coach knows the importance of sticking with a winning formula, but is also keeping his options open for any last-minute changes, ensuring that the team is primed and ready to take on the challenges ahead.
