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.
