Coach Stephen Kearney will leave it late to make the final call on injured trio, Frank Pritchard, Manu Vatuvei and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
Tuivasa-Sheck, the tournament's top try scorer has been cleared of a broken right fibula but has been rested this week while Frank Pritchard and Manu Vatuvei are still recovering from groin and hamstring injuries respectively that ruled them out against England last weekend.
The trio will be tested through the team's final big hitout in Leigh. Pass the test and they should start in Sunday morning's big final.
Otherwise, expect the likes of Krisnan Inu to feature with changes throughout the team to accomodate the injuries.
It would be a shame if Tuivasa-Sheck did miss the Final given he has been one of the tournament's biggest stars - that try against England in the semifinal was probably one of the most memorable.
