First Nations-Pasifika combo out to honour their heritage and put a dent in the Lions unbeaten record
They'll warm up for that encounter with a match against a First Nations and Pasifika XV at Marvel Stadium.
It's the first time that such a side has been brought together - representing as it does six different cultures - with all 23 players in the match-day squad out to honour their heritage.
Overseeing operations will be Toutai Kefu, capped 60 times by Australia, before going on to coach his country of heritage,Tonga.
He says such a side may never be seen again, but he loves the First Nations-Pasifika concept and has floated the idea of future matches against the New Zealand Maoris, and maybe even a European tour.

‘It's our responsibility': Australian star's vision to stave off NRLW poaching
Wallaroos utility Lori Cramer insists there is enough talent in Australia's ranks to challenge the juggernauts of women's world rugby, despite the disparity of opportunities in global competitions. When the Queensland Reds star is not gracing the fields of Ballymore for the Super Rugby Women's, she plies her trade for the Exeter Chiefs in England's Allianz Premiership Women's Rugby competition. For the English 2024-25 season,18 rounds between nine teams took place before finals – a stark contrast to the four rounds before finals experienced in Australia. That lopsided level of experience received by players has been reflected at the Women's Rugby World Cup, with England featuring in eight of nine finals – finishing third in their one campaign in which they did not reach the last clash. 'A lot of the UK plays in England, you get the best of Ireland, the best of Scotland, the best of Wales. Then you get France, Italy, a lot of Americans, the Canadians and even some Kiwis and Aussies – you get the best of the world,' Cramer said. Loading 'Because you've got more depth in players, and it's an 18-round season, you go through those highs and lows of the season, and you get time to build on-field combinations.' The Wallaroos have, meanwhile, never made a final – a third-place finish in 2010 their lone occasion in the competition's final four. However, speaking ahead of the nation's battle with Wales at Ballymore – where she pleaded for fans to 'fill the hill' on Saturday – Cramer stressed strides had been taken to make an impression come the 2025 World Cup beginning in August.

Collingwood star Bobby Hill set to play VFL as coach Craig McRae admits there is ‘still work to be done'
Collingwood coach Craig McRae has tipped a 'cast of thousands' at Frankston as star pair Jordan De Goey and Bobby Hill return to action in modest surrounds. Accustomed to playing at the MCG, the gun duo will line up with AFL premiership teammate Billy Frampton in the Magpies' VFL side against the Dolphins at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night. De Goey has exited concussion protocols after previously battling Achilles inflammation, which had sidelined him since the start of May. The explosive midfielder has played just five games this season, but is set to take a significant step towards featuring in the ladder leaders' premiership push. 'We're excited for what that looks like,' McRae said on Friday when confirming De Goey's VFL comeback. 'He'll get some game time. He's been out for I don't even know how many weeks, but we're excited to have Jordy back, fit and available. 'There's always an element of risk with all things but, based on the last three or four weeks of training, he looks really fit and strong.' Hill's return is another positive sign for Collingwood after the Norm Smith medallist sat out the last four weeks due to personal reasons and illness. 'There's still work to be done,' McRae said. 'You can't say that with what he's been going through, it's just going to be flick a switch and things change. 'But the reality is, it's good to see him back training. He's been back at work for the last week and a half, and training hard. 'So we want to see that transfer to match fitness and then we will progress from there.' Dan Houston (abdominal strain) and Tim Membrey (managed) will return at AFL level as Collingwood seek to arrest a two-match losing skid against Richmond at the MCG on Sunday. Meanwhile, McRae will be 'heavily involved' in discussions around potential off-season recruits, with Collingwood strongly linked to a play for Carlton's Jack Silvagni. 'Unrestricted free agents are something that we want to continue to explore,' McRae said. 'Whether it's Jack or someone else, we'll step into that because we don't want to stand still. 'We want to be better than what we are now next year and we'll look to avenues to bring players in.' Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell ruffled feathers when he met with West Coast captain Oscar Allen earlier this year, but McRae would have no qualms sitting down with Silvagni. The link between Silvagni - from a famous Carlton family - and the Blues' arch-rivals Collingwood has caused outrage in sections of the clubs' supporter bases. 'I would meet with Jack, yeah, if that was something that was important to us,' McRae said.
