Australia take on New Zealand in Leeds on Friday night with a place in the World Cup final up for grabs.
Old enemies, bitter foes and neighbours, the Kangaroos and Kiwis will do battle at Elland Road.
With Australia the defending world champions, and New Zealand the number one ranked team in the world, there is bound to be fireworks in west Yorkshire.
The green and gold have looked the goods after they brushed past Lebanon easily in the quarter-finals.
The men in black have not been as convincing, pushed all the way in a classic quarter-final in Hull against Fiji.
But the Kiwis have the class and the talent to topple the Kangaroos at the home of Leeds United.
New Zealand have one just one change, with Moses Leota returning to the 19-man squad and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves making way.
Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is also in contention to play in the semi-final.
According to reports, Australia will have Nathan Cleary starting at halfback, with Daly Cherry-Evans missing out.
Ben Hunt is to start at hooker, with Harry Grant on the bench. Mal Meninga is expected to go with four forwards and no backs on his bench.
The Kangaroos have not missed a World Cup final since 1954. Their last loss in a tournament decider came in 2008 against the Kiwis.
The two teams have been playing each other for over 100 years and no team has beaten Australia more often than New Zealand, apart from Great Britain.
Many of the Kiwis and Kangaroos players are teammates at clubs in the NRL such as James Tedesco and Joey Manu at the Roosters, and Harry Grant and the Bromwich brothers at Melbourne.
The semi-final promises to be engrossing, high-quality clash that will captivate the rugby league world.
