The test of strength will come down to the first scrum when the Vodafone Flying Fijians takes on the Wallabies in Melbourne tomorrow.
Flying Fijians captain Akapusi Qera has already laid the challenge that they are looking to cause an upset.
Looking at the Wallabies forwards, captain Michael Hooper is the only survivor from the last Wallabies forward pack that played Fiji at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The pressure is on for the Australian front row to deliver while the Fiji forwards are excited to conjure up something under the guidance of scrum coach Alan Muir.
Flying Fijians lock Tevita Cavubati who has 15 test matches on his belt believes they have nothing to lose and the freedom to play their natural game, and that combined with their improvement around the set‑piece which ensures they are a dangerous opponent.

Australia and Fiji have met on 20 occasions, with the Wallabies winning 17 times, Fiji twice and game ended in a draw.
The Wallabies will take on the Flying Fijians at 5pm tomorrow in Melbourne.
