The Wallabies are fit and hungry for a win against the All Blacks this weekend.
Coach, Michael Cheika says they are ready to tackle the more match‑hardened All Blacks in the Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup opener.
Fitness has been a major focus for Cheika, who wants an improvement from the Australians since the June series defeat to England.
His concern has been compounded by the lack of recent match play for his squad members.
Most of the Wallabies have not played for five weeks going into the match at Sydney's ANZ Stadium on Saturday, while many of the New Zealanders were involved in Super Rugby until two weekends ago.
But, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen believes there are advantages and disadvantages for both teams.
The All Blacks will meet the Wallabies at 10pm this Saturday.
