The improving Wallabies scrum is set to face its toughest test yet against the All Blacks in Auckland tomorrow night.
The Australian pack has been somewhat of a laughing stock in recent years as they've struggled to maintain parity with the other powers of world rugby.
However, that has not stopped Australia talking up the strength of their scrum and they dispute that they are the pushovers they once were.
David Pocock who will up-front All Blacks captain, Richie McCaw tomorrow said they are ready for the big challenge.
Meanwhile, tomorrow's Bledisloe Cup test is set to record one of the biggest rugby crowds ever seen in New Zealand.
More than 50,000 tickets have been sold for the test tomorrow and it is set to surpass the largest modern day crowd of 47,000 which was recorded at Eden Park for the 2005 All Blacks test against the British and Irish Lions.
The All Blacks and Wallabies match kicks off 7.35pm tomorrow.
