The snub fuelling First Nations and Pasifika team in battle with Lions
The odds are stacked against the First Nations and Pasifika side due to their limited preparation together and given the ruthless manner in which the Lions took apart the more vaunted AUNZ side.
Meanwhile, star prop Taniela Tupou said he is 'at peace' if the Marvel Stadium clash is his last game in Australia.
Tupou, who was released from the Wallabies camp to play for the First Nations and Pasifika team, has signed a two-year deal to play for Racing 92 in France at the end of his current contract.
There is strong speculation Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt won't call on overseas-bound players for the Rugby Championship, and there would then be no certainty around Tupou's involvement in the Rugby World Cup in 2027.
'Look, I'm here having fun, enjoying it, whatever happens, happens,' Tupou said of his Test future.
'So if I'm back, I'm back and if not, I'm living life, I'm enjoying it. Just play my footy tomorrow and then see what happens after that ... hopefully I will play again, if not, then I'm at peace with it.'
The Lions, who named a strong team with Owen Farrell as captain, have spoken about going undefeated on their tour of Australia. But they've also called in five players just to play in this fixture, to protect Test stars.
Asked if the First Nations and Pasifika players felt like they being underestimated, hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa said: 'We know that, we know that very well, we know that they're not really focused on us, and that's okay.
'I guess we don't really want to talk about it too much, we just want to show them what we're made of and what we can do - what we've got essentially,' he said.
Paenga-Amosa said the side would need more than a free-flowing Barbarians-style approach to beat the Lions.
Gamble and his teammates watched the AUNZ team's 48-point defeat in Adelaide and are motivated to put in a superior performance to create a legacy for the First Nations and Pasifika squad that could follow them on the Lions next tour of Australia.

Rugby Australia to seek answers from World Rugby over MCG call
Rugby Australia boss Phil Waugh has backed Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt over his post-match spray about the controversial decision to not penalise the Lions for foul play before their match-winning try at the MCG, and said RA would be seeking 'a high level of accountability' from World Rugby about the referee's calls this week. Waugh's firm stance came after Schmidt slammed Italian referee Andrea Piardi for not awarding a match-defining penalty in the 79th minute of the Lions' 29-26 win in Melbourne. Lions fullback Hugo Keenan scored in the last minute secure a series-clinching victory, but Schmidt came out swinging over an incident at the previous ruck, where Welsh flanker Jac Morgan cleaned out Carlo Tizzano with a hit on the back of the neck. The Wallabies argued Morgan should have been penalised for breaching Law 9.20, which prohibits contact above the shoulders at a ruck. With the Wallabies leading by two points, a penalty would have likely seen the series go to a decider on Saturday at Accor Stadium. Piardi reviewed the incident but ruled there it was not foul play because both players had arrived at the same time and Morgan had not used a shoulder. Schmidt said Piardi appeared unwilling to make a big call in the last minute, and the decision 'doesn't really live up to the big player safety push that they [World Rugby] are talking about. 'That decision, you only have to look at law 9.20. It's what they're there to enforce. A player who dives off his feet is clearly beaten to the position over the ball, makes neck contact, it was a tough one to take.' World Rugby chief executive Alan Gilpin and chairman Brett Robinson were guests at the MCG, ahead of 2027 Rugby World Cup events with Waugh and RA this week in Sydney.

Brilliant fielding, murderous batting: Maxwell's night out makes it 4-0 in St Kitts
The pressure exerted by Australia's batters was shown by how the West Indian bowlers, pace and spin alike, were often unwilling to put the ball in a spot where it could be reached. As a consequence, they delivered an eye-watering 16 wides. Loading He signalled his intention to make an impact in the field, as the Australians again sought to restrict West Indies on the almost comically small Warner Park. With boundaries of similar dimensions to Eden Park in Auckland, sixes tend to be the rule rather than the exception. But Maxwell's interventions helped ensure that those big hits were somewhat curtailed. His first catch, diving forward to get game-three centurion Shai Hope, was excellent in itself. The second, leaping up to pluck Roston Chase as though picking an apple from a high tree branch, was gloriously nonchalant. These two were merely scene-setters, however, for the exit of Romario Shepherd. Leaning back to pummel Adam Zampa down the ground, Shepherd looked satisfied that he'd hit a six. The ball had maybe a couple more inches to travel over the rope when it was intercepted by a flying Maxwell, who kept his foot inside the boundary and flicked the ball to Green before sprawling over the line. The umpire's check confirmed a sublime bit of athleticism and timing. Rain stopped the West Indies innings with four balls left at 9-203, but play resumed after 55 minutes without any overs deducted. Nathan Ellis, best of the Australian bowlers with figures of 0-21 from his four overs, conceded just two runs from those four balls. After Inglis and Maxwell had their say with the bat, the Australians subsided briefly with the loss of 3-5 in 10 balls. David had been rested in recognition that he is still recovering from a serious hamstring injury, and this gave Hardie and Bartlett the opportunity to accompany Green to the finish line. Bartlett was unluckily out when a straight drive hit the stumps via Shepherd's hand while he was backing up, before Green and Sean Abbott ended the game with four balls to spare – just as the rain returned. Loading This was another major reverse for the West Indies, who struggled against Australia in the Test series but have shown even more weakness in T20, which had once been the region's strength. No batter got past 31 in this game, while the fielding was often desultory at best. With 11 runs still required, Sherfaine Rutherford dropped Green on the boundary. Australia will duly have the opportunity to complete an unbeaten tour of the Caribbean in the final game on Tuesday morning, before another white-ball series against South Africa on home soil in August.
