Captain Allan Alaalatoa says the Wallabies are well and truly prepared for the big wet and a soft surface heading into Saturday night's Rugby Championship showdown against South Africa in Perth.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast possible storms and heavy falls for Perth on Saturday, with 15-40mm of rain tipped to fall during the day.

The Optus Stadium surface has come under heavy fire this season in AFL circles for being too slippery, and Saturday's heavy rain is set to exacerbate the problem.
South Africa dominated Australia at the scrum on the way to a 33-7 win in Brisbane last week, and the Wallabies are determined to turn the tables in Saturday's re-match.
Alaalatoa said the Wallabies were well aware of the predicted rain and the quality of the turf leading into the game.
"It's a bit soft underneath," he told reporters on Friday after training at Optus Stadium.
"I think that's probably due to the weather that it's had.
"We've spoken about that as a pack and as a team, just making sure that you have the right essentials with your boots, to make sure that you take every opportunity that counts.
"I don't change anything. I wear the longest studs possible.
"So I think it's more some of our outside backs will probably have to change some of their studs, but everyone's across that."
The forecast rain has the potential to turn the contest into a war of attrition, and Alaalatoa said it was important for his team to adapt quickly.
"That's something that as leaders and game drivers we've spoken about throughout the week," he said.
"And yes, it hasn't been the Perth weather that we all expected throughout the week.
"But we've been training in those conditions and making sure that we're smart with where we want to play."
South Africa made a whopping 10 changes to their starting line-up as coach Rassie Erasmus attempts to build on his team's enviable depth.
Despite the mass changes, the Springboks squad will still feature 14 World Cup-winning players.
The Wallabies have opted for a halves pairing of Nic White and Noah Lolesio, while 19-year-old whiz-kid Max Jorgensen will make his Test debut off the bench.
