The latest updates from the Pacific Championships have got fans buzzing with excitement, mate.

The Kangaroos are on track to secure a spot in the final by taking on New Zealand, looking to avenge last year's loss.

Meanwhile, Fetu Samoa are one step closer to qualifying for the World Cup - crikey!

In the first round of matches, the Kangaroos showed their grit by holding off Tonga 18-0, while the Jillaroos smashed the PNG Orchids with a record-breaking 84-0 victory.

The Kumuls also flexed their muscles against Fiji Bati, and Fetu Samoa got the better of Tonga in a thrilling clash.

Mal Meninga's new-look Aussie team put in a tough performance against Tonga, but they know they'll need to bring their A-game against the Kiwis in Christchurch to book their spot in the final at CommBank Stadium.

Coach Meninga is playing it smart and keeping changes to a minimum, with some players itching to get a run on the field.

If the Kangaroos come out on top against New Zealand, it'll set up a showdown between the Kiwis and Tonga in Auckland for the other finals spot.

It's shaping up to be a ripper of a tournament, with plenty of twists and turns still to come.

So grab your esky, chuck on your green and gold, and get ready for some top-notch footy action, because things are about to get real interesting down under.

Go team!
