Wallabies coach Eddie Jones is confident his youthful side can do the job against the might of the All Blacks.
Jones concedes it's one of the more inexperienced starting sides in his coaching history, with only Marika Koroibete (53) and stand-in captain Allan Alaalatoa (66) holding over 50 caps.

Remarkable, there are more caps on the bench (351) than the starting XV (350), with the likes of James Slipper, Nic White and Quade Cooper set to finish the game combined caps in the XV,
"I don't think I've ever picked a younger Test team, I think we've got 290 caps in the starting 15," Jones said to reporters.
"The All Blacks I'd say would have close to 1000 caps so we've got a young team out there ready to take them on with not much past history, just ready to play.
"And then we've got a very experienced bench, guys like (James) Slipper and Nic (White) and Quade (Cooper) to come on and it'll be a different role for them, it will be an interesting finish to the game."
The most notable change comes in the halves as young gun Carter Gordon earns his first start.
Jones said the young halves would help the Wallabies match the pace of the All Blacks who are unbeaten this year, while Australia are 0-2.
He said he'd seen enough of Gordon to believe he was ready, seeing shades of former greats Stephen Larkham and South Africa's Butch James in the youngster.
"If you look back at players, past great 10s, he's got a mixture of Butch James defensively, he's a tough kid," Jones said.
"And then he's got that little bit of a glide that Larkham had, he can take the ball of pace and has got a good passing game."
Tom Hooper has only started once for the Brumbies in the No.7 jersey but Jones lauded his performance in the Super Rugby Pacific semi-final against the Chiefs and believes he provides the necessary edge at breakdown.
"I think the best game I saw from an Australian seven was Tom against the Chiefs," Jones said.
"The way he competed hard at the breakdown was first class."
