The Roosters' NRL title defense has ended at the hands of an impressive South Sydney side, who have booked their tickets into the grand final.

The Rabbitohs came from 12-0 down to win 32-22, piling on all of their points consecutively to take the game away from the Roosters.

Lote Tuqiri scored the first try for the Rabbitohs that brought the team back into the game.

Greg Inglis bagged two second half tries after the scores were level 12-all at halftime.

The Rabbitohs will be nervously awaiting the judiciary's charges with hooker Issac Luke on report for a lifting tackle on Sonny Bill Williams.

Its South Sydney's first grand final in 43 years.

Meanwhile, the Panthers will face the Bulldogs at 9.45 tonight in the second semi-final.
