The Kangaroos go into the weekends Four Nations final against New Zealand without veteran forward Sam Thaiday (pictured).

With winger Josh Mansour already out of the team, the loss of Thaiday, who suffered a fractured cheekbone and  eye socket in a head clash with English hard nut James Graham  will be felt keenly by the Aussies.

Dhungutti  man Greg Inglis says the team will miss the injured Thaiday but its all about the clash with the Kiwis now and the chance to restore Australia as Four Nations champions.
