Defeat against Tonga will deliver Australia their first back‑to‑back international rugby league defeats in 40 years.
And the Kangaroos know a repeat performance of the one against New Zealand last week will also leave them susceptible to one of the biggest upsets in league history.
The historic clash with Tonga in Auckland is one of the most fiercely anticipated Tests in years, following Andrew Fifita and Jason Taumalolo's efforts to revolutionise the Mate Ma'a in the past 12 months.
The rejuvenated Tongans showed their potential by reaching the finals of last year's World Cup, but it's not all going according to plan for the Kangaroos.
Mate Ma'a Tonga will take on the Australia Kangaroos at 7.45pm this Saturday in Auckland.
