Australia have overcome their largest deficit in a decade to beat Fiji 30-14 and qualify for their fifth-straight Women's Rugby League World Cup final.
With Australia runaway favourites for the knockout semi-final, Fiji proved they weren't to be discounted as they led 8-0 early and kept it level at halftime.
But Abbi Church shone with four tries for the match as Australia came back and dominated the second half on Sunday afternoon at Allianz Stadium to set up a blockbuster with arch-rivals New Zealand next week.
Tamika Upton and Tarryn Aitken both set up two tries in the win, while Upton also scored one of her own.
Jaime Chapman also moved top of the try-scoring list with 10 for the tournament.
But it didn't come easy, with the Jillaroos needing to make a better start against New Zealand in next Sunday's decider at Suncorp Stadium.
Stand-out Fijian five-eighth Luisa Yaranamua had her hands in all their points, dominating with her pin-point kicking game as well as a try and try assist.
It was the first true contest for the Australians in some time, conceding two times in a match for the first time since 2018.
The hosts came into the game undefeated and almost impenetrable, only conceding one try in their three crushing group-stage wins.
Fiji qualified for their first ever semi-final after big wins over Papua New Guinea and France, suffering just the one close loss to New Zealand in the group stage.
The normally exemplary Jillaroos were plagued by early errors, leading the first-half count with nine to Fiji's three.
While the Bulikula threatened the line on several sets, the first points came off the kicking tee with Yaranamua putting the Fijians in front.
It didn't take long for the five-eighth to add to her tally, crossing over for a powerful try after Sereana Naitokatoka's perfectly executed one-on-one strip.
Going down 8-0 for the first time since a loss to New Zealand in 2016 seemed to jolt the Jillaroos into life with two quick-fire tries to get things going.
Winger Church crossed first with the speedster finding a direct line to the corner before Upton also had luck on the right side, slicing through the Fijian line to level the score.
Jess Skinner's team came out of the break looking much more like the well-oiled machine they've been throughout the tournament.
Australia took the lead for the first time through Church in the 39th minute, before Chapman's try four minutes later ended any real chance of a boilover.
