Wallabies coach Michael Cheika said his team will just do their best and see what happens on Saturday.
"I've played in teams that have been lower on the table and maybe haven't been expected to beat bigger teams," Cheika revealed. "But I've never felt worried about it. It's just, you go out there and you do your best and you see what happens."
