Prayer, laughter and pride, they are three ingredients the smiling Fijians will call on when they confront $8 million worth of Australian's finest rugby league flesh in Sunday's Rugby League World Cup semifinal.

The Vodafone Fiji Bati, a collection of park footballers and Fijian club players with a sprinkling of NRL talent, are the last of the tournament's minnows still standing, after surprisingly making it through to the last four.

A date with the ruthless Kangaroos is their reward, but it's a challenge the carefree Fijians are taking in their languid stride.

Fiji Bati fullback Jarryd Hayne said they play like family and will not be under pressure when they run onto the Sydney Football Stadium.

He said they will go to show some of the Fijian spirit and Fiji pride and give it their all.

The Fiji Bati/Australia match will kick off on Sunday at 9pm.
