Three players with Fijian links will feature in the NRL Grand Final between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Penrith Panthers tomorrow night.

Dally M Second Rower of the Year Viliame Kikau and Api Koroisau will start for the Panthers while former Fiji Bati player Taane Milne is one of the four reserves for the Rabbitohs.

Kikau appeared in all 26 matches for the Panthers, scoring nine tries while Koroisau played 17 games, collecting three tries this season.

Milne played 12 matches and scored eight tries for the Rabbitohs this season.

Queensland's historic grand final will be played in front of a crowd of 39,000 due to tightening COVID-19 restrictions.

The NRL confirmed 25% of fans who purchased tickets to tomorrow's sold-out decider will automatically be refunded on a "first in" basis from when tickets were purchased.

Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'Ath (D-Ath) says the grand final would go ahead with 75% capacity.

There will be pop-up vaccination clinics around Suncorp Stadium for tomorrow's Grand Final.

The NRL Grand Final is scheduled for 8.30pm tomorrow.
