Wallabies skipper James Horwill, who missed the 2012 international season with hamstring injuries knows it's “very critical” to set the tone in their clash against the British and Irish Lions.
Tonight's clash is shaping as a battle of the breakdown - where the ball runners and tacklers collide, where the loose forwards scrap and where the big men clean out before the backline generals order up the next phase of what is expected to be a continual bombardment of the opposing defenses.
The Wallabies will host the British and Irish Lions at 10 tonight while the All Blacks will meet France at 7:35pm tonight.
Samoa will play South Africa at 3am tomorrow.
