Samoa coach Matt Parish has dared Australia to target boom young fullback Joseph Suaali'i<\/a> in this weekend's World Cup<\/a> final.<\/p>\n

At 19, Suaali'i is the "baby" of the tournament and one of the youngest players to ever appear in a World Cup final.<\/p>\n

The Kangaroos are certain to test the Roosters rookie's nerves under the high ball and with their grubber kicks – but Parish welcomes the attention.<\/p>\n

"Good luck to them if they target him – he will handle it and then some," Parish predicted to Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

"The kid comes from a great system at the Roosters, and he has such maturity and a real cool head.<\/p>\n

"He has got better with each game and we all have confidence that he will handle whatever they throw at him.<\/p>\n

"Joseph is an exceptional athlete and he won't crack – no way."<\/p>\n

\"Samoa<\/p>\n

The Samoans rocked the rugby league world with their upset win over England in extra time last weekend<\/a> – but know the job isn't quite done.<\/p>\n

"The Kangaroos will be tough – they are a great team," Parish conceded.<\/p>\n

"But there is no way my guys will be over-awed – they have played in Origins and grand finals.<\/p>\n

"We are wounded but we will give it a crack – these guys are just so proud to represent the homeland of their families."<\/p>\n
