Keano Kini again starts at fullback after receiving a late call-up last week, while captain James Fisher-Harris will lead an imposing forward pack. Scott Sorensen is 18th man.
Toa Samoa: A late switch in the pack with Benaiah Ioelu starting at hooker and Jazz Tevaga sliding to the bench. Jaydn Su'A returns after missing the win over Tonga with a concussion. Su'A replaces Jeremiah Nanai, who has been ruled out with a shoulder injury. Ata Mariota is the 18th man.

Jillaroos: The Jillaroos line up 1-17 with no late changes. Fullback Tamika Upton returns for the final after overcoming a calf injury, taking over from Abbi Church, who had a dream debut last week. Olivia Higgins slots straight into the starting hooker role following the shoulder injury to Keeley Davis in the win over the Kiwi Ferns in Auckland. Other changes see Jakiya Whitfeld come from the reserves to start on the wing, moving Jess Sergis to the bench. Sarah Togatuki is the new 18th player after she came off the bench at Eden Park. Jocelyn Kelleher and Abbi Church were the players to drop out of the extended squad on Saturday.
Kiwi Ferns: A change an hour before kick-off with Olympic gold medallist Tyla King coming into the starting side at five-eighth with Ash Quinlan going to the bench. After playing five-eighth last week, Patricia Maliepo is out of the side for the final. Tysha Ikenasio replaces winger Leianne Tufuga, who has been placed in the head knock protocols. Shakira Baker is the 18th player.
