"The French always bring it to us physically so we know when we come up against those teams we have to show up because we are a smaller team," said Levi.
"Our physicality, strength and power we do in the gym gets put on display out there. "We'll go back, watch the game and recover.
"We take each game as it comes, we don't look at who we've got next. "I think we thrive under pressure and are united together. We'll keep building off that and hopefully get the win."
New Zealand were stunned by Canada in their final group stages match, who raced out to a 21-0 lead at the break before taking the 26-17 victory. The Australian men's team will take on South Africa in the playoff for fifth spot on Sunday.
The Australians opened the tournament with a 38-5 loss to France.
They got back on track on Saturday with a tight 19-14 victory over Britain before going down 14-5 to Argentina.
The match against Britain was locked at 14-all at fulltime, with Ben Dowling crossing on the left edge after the siren to secure victory.
“We’ve come across Great Britain in two Quarter-Finals over the world series and we know it’s always tight," Dowling said. "They’re such a position-based team but we made it count at the end. “The format of the Grand Final here is it’s do or die and we didn’t start on the right note but all these games are tight.”
