Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says Christian Lealiifano is up for his fight against leukaemia and the team will give him whatever support he needs.

Wallabies and Brumbies star Lealiifano was admitted to hospital after being diagnosed with the illness last week.

A number of Wallabies visited 28‑year‑old Lealiifano in Canberra over the weekend after their camp in Sydney concluded on Friday and before reassembling on Sunday night for this week's camp.

Cheika believes he is going to get through adding he is a tough guy.

The Wallabies host the All Blacks at 10pm next Saturday in the first Rugby Championship game.
