The Wallabies are welcoming the chance to step onto MCG as they prepare for the Bledisloe Cup opener against the All Blacks.
Over 80,000 are expected to attend Saturday's clash, which has been sandwiched between two blockbuster AFL matches between Collingwood-Carlton and Melbourne-Richmond.

As a result, the ground will be off-limits for the captain's run, with the Wallabies taking advantage of arriving in Melbourne earlier than the Kiwi counterparts by walking through the ground on Wednesday.
The Wallabies need victory at the MCG and also in Dunedin next month to win the Bledisloe Cup for the first time since 2002.
"It's massive; we've marked this game since our camp in April," winger Suliasi Vunivalu told reporters in Melbourne on Wednesday.
"We want to win this game; it's a big game in a big stadium and we're all looking forward to it."
Vunivalu wasn't retained on the wing against Argentina following a rough night in his first Test start against South Africa.
"It was a tough game in South Africa," he said.
"I've got a lot of the coaches' support; they've been working with me and ... I'll do my bit and hopefully that gets me selected.
He said his focus was on "being busy" and drew comparisons between Jones and former NRL coach at Melbourne Craig Bellamy.
"He's a funny fella ... they have a bit of similarities, but not with (using) the 'f ' word every second word from Craig, which is good," he laughed.
Mark Nawaqanitawase excelled in Vunivalu's place against Los Pumas in a sublime attempt to lock up his spot alongside fellow winger Marika Koroibete.
"It puts pressure on coaches, it's good for all of the outside backs," Vunivalu said of the competition for spots.
"I can only control myself in training and I'll let the coach do his bit."
