The Kangaroos, led by coach Mal Meninga, have been on a winning streak, having triumphed in all 12 Test matches played in Australia since he took charge.
However, they will face a challenging atmosphere at Waikato's FMG Stadium, where the Kiwis will enjoy the home ground advantage in the Pacific Cup Final on Saturday.
The passionate fans are expected to make it a hostile reception for the Kangaroos.
The Kiwi forward pack, comprising players like James Fisher-Harris and Joe Tapine, will be seeking redemption and looking to bring their A-game to the match.
Both teams are expected to field their strongest line-ups for the decisive final.
In the past two decades, the Kiwis have repeatedly demonstrated that lead-up form is irrelevant when it comes to the crunch.
The intensity of the match is likely to be high, with neither side holding back in their pursuit of victory.
As the curtain falls on another demanding season for the game's superstars, the Pacific Cup Final promises to be a thrilling showdown, with the Kangaroos hoping to maintain their winning streak, while the Kiwis are determined to claim the silverware.
