Force captain Jeremy Williams is excited to be back in the west after a long couple of weeks on the road, with the side determined to end the tournament with a drought-breaking win against the All Blacks on Saturday.
The second Bledisloe Cup in Perth will mark the fourth sellout of the year for the Wallabies, and with a Rugby Championship title on the line, the men in gold have plenty to play for.

“It's awesome to see that so many people have wanted to come out and watch us play our brand of footy,” Williams said to reporters on Tuesday.
“We want to sell out crowds every time we play. We want the fans to be proud of us as the Wallabies.
“We're working hard behind the scenes to put in the hard work and get the results that we want.
“Playing in front of those home crowds is everything you want as a player. You want it to be a sell-out. You want it to be loud.
“It just makes for a big occasion.
“It's good to get back on home soil. We're training down at the Force HQ today. It's a bit familiar.
“I got to see a few of the boys in at the Force. We trained hard and we're looking forward to this weekend.”
All eyes will be on the west this weekend, with the Force set to play the Waratahs in the Super Rugby AUS Final on Sunday at Wanneroo.
With several players in the competition showing their wares, more opportunities loom with Australia XV squads and Spring Tour calculations to be considered.
While the Wallabies have suffered several injuries over the last few months, most recently to Tate McDermott, Williams believes the depth in Australian rugby now gives the opportunity for someone just as good to come in.
With players like Pete Samu, Josh Canham and Hunter Paisami ready to jump in at a moment's notice, the Wallabies have remained calm despite the loss of several players.
Rob Valetini and Will Skelton will headline the big returns in the set piece, but the side has been well supported by the likes of Tom Hooper and Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, and Williams expects it only to grow.
“I think it's awesome to have depth in all positions,” Williams said when asked about the progress of the squad. “It creates competition at training time. That leads to players pushing each other to get better each day.
“It's what you want in a team. You want a team that's really tough to pick. You want players pushing each other for positions.
“I think that creates an awesome environment that's competitive.”
