Beautiful play that, from all three involved.

Australia wouldn't have wanted to come out and give a quick try to England but they will have to hustle up and get a try on the board.

Away we go.

Can Australia make a game of this, or will the English domination continue?

New Zealand had a rather more straightforward semi-final than Australia - beating Samoa 32-0 - and head coach Ricky Henry sticks with the same 17 for Sunday's final in Brisbane.

Henry's squad contains six players who featured in the last World Cup final against Australia at Old Trafford four years ago - Apii Nicholls, Mele Hufanga, Raecene McGregor, Brianna Clark, Abigail Roache and Otesa Pule. Fullback Nicholls and halfack McGregor will play in their third World Cup final.

New Zealand women: Apii Nicholls, Leianne Tufuga, Mele Hufanga, Stacey Waaka, Mackenzie Wiki, Chantay Kiria-Ratu, Raecene McGregor, Alexis Tauaneai, Georgia Hale, Otesa Pule, Shaniece Monschau, Kaiyah Atai, Angelina Teakaraanga-Katoa.

Interchange: Ashleigh Quinn, Annessa Biddle, Shannon Mato, Ivan Lauitiiti.

Reserves: Zahara Temara, Brianna Clark, Abigail Roache, Tenika Willison, Brooke Anderson.

The big Australia team news going into Sunday's Women's World Cup final against New Zealand is that stand-off Jocelyn Kelleher has been replaced by Jesse Southwell.

It's not clear at this stage if that's a selection decision or an injury - although Kelleher's kicking was inconsistent in the nervy 30-14 semi-final win over Fiji last Sunday, and head coach Jess Skinner has already proved she is not afraid to make big calls: she left veteran captain Ali Brigginshaw out of the tournament squad altogether last month.

Southwell has started one match at the World Cup already - she came in for the rested Kelleher as Australia beat Wales 124-6 in the group stage.

Australia women: Tamika Upton, Jaime Chapman, Jessica Sergis, Isabelle Kelly, Abbi Church, Jesse Southwell, Tarryn Aiken, Millie Elliott, Olivia Higgins, Simaima Taufa, Tiana Penitani Gray, Shaylee Bent, Olivia Kernick.

Interchange: Keeley Nizza, Keilee Joseph, Kezie Apps, Sariah Paki.

Reserves: Sarah Togatuki, Quincy Dodd, Jocelyn Kelleher, Ellie Johnston, Sheridan Gallagher.

Kalyn Ponga provided the perfect example of just how the matchday line-ups can be tweaked after their release: The full-back was initially a reserve for last Saturday's semi-final against Tonga, then got promoted to the bench, then was named in the starting line-up around 90 minutes before kick-off.

And Ponga - returning just 23 days after breaking his forearm in New Zealand's World Cup opener against Australia - was brilliant in that semi-final. It's no surprise he is named as a starter for the final.

Winger Ronaldo Mulitalo returns after missing the semi-final through suspension - and so Charnze Nicoll Klokstad, scorer of New Zealand's final try in that 34-10 victory over Tonga, drops to the reserve list.

New Zealand men: Kalyn Ponga, Jamayne ISaako, Dane Gagai, Casey McLean, Ronaldo Mulitalo, Kodi Nikorima, Jahrome Hughes, James Fisher-Harris, Jeremy Marshall-King, Moses Leota, Isaiah Papali'i, Briton Nikora, Joseph Tapine.

Interchange: Te Maire Martin, Naufahu Whyte, Erin Clark, Xavier Willison, Keano Kini, Phoenix Crossland.

Reserves: Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Scott Sorensen, Leo Thompson.

The matchday squads for the Men's and Women's World Cup finals were announced at 05:00 GMT today. They are subject to change - as has been shown repeatedly through the tournament - but you do get an idea at least of how the teams are likely to line up.

Reece Walsh retains his place at full-back for Australia, who face New Zealand in the men's final in Brisbane on Sunday (08:35 GMT) - his spectacular performance against Samoa in last Sunday semi-final probably demanded it, even if there were a couple of big errors to go alongside his hat-trick. James Tedesco, his rival for that full-back spot, is not in the 19-man matchday squad as it stands.

Kotoni Staggs and Bradman Best retain the centre roles, with Latrell Mitchell once again on the bench.

Australia men: Reece Walsh, Jack Bostock, Kotoni Staggs, Bradman Best, Tom Trbojevic, Cameron Munster, Tom Dearden, Patrick Carrigan, Harry Grant, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Jacob Preston, Liam Martin, Isaah Yeo.

Interchange: Ethan Strange, Keaon Koloamatangi, Cameron Murray, Reuben Cotter, Latrell Mitchell, Sam Walker.

Reserves: Blayke Brailey, Lindsay Smith, James Tedesco.

Let's take a look ahead to this Sunday's finals in the men's and women's competitions - both Australia v New Zealand.

The teams were announced this morning, here are the headlines...

A superb first half from England, who have one wheel in a fifth successive World Cup final.

England are so close to their eighth try of the half, but Jack Brown is not able to fully ground the ball after chasing down a grubber.

There are plenty of England fans in the WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong, and they will be loving what they are seeing.

It is clinical, calculated and absolutely ruthless. England are tearing Australia in half.

There is a reason why they are world champions and it goes to show the strength that they have in this Super League. I think it is also showing what Australia don't have here tonight.

What a tournament Mason Billington is having. He has been sensational.

Nathan Collins is left flat on his face after a hefty late tackle from Toby Popple.

He is upright immediately. These players are tough as steel.

Diab Karim tries something different, an overhead punt to try and deceive the English defence.

England read it well though.
