Fiji's completion rate is superior, they have made fewer tackles and have made more post-contact metres.
They have also only made three errors to Australia's nine.
The reigning world champions looked out of sorts, rattled and not quite sure how to deal with Fiji's physicality.
This is Fiji's first time at the Women's Rugby League World Cup, and they have put in a strong showing up to this point.
Sienna Laing returns at centre for them after sitting out the win over France that secured their semi-final spot; Taina Naividi switches to the wing and Tahlia Marshall drops to the bench. Lorren Ieli will start at prop, Leilani Ahsam moves into the loose forward role and Talei Holmes pushes up to the back row. Teaghan Hartigan returns on the bench.
