Andy Farrell is confident the British and Irish Lions will hit the ground running against the Barbarians in Hong Kong on Saturday.
Pressure
The Baa-Baas clash will give Lions head coach Warren Gatland an immediate opportunity to assess combinations before arriving in Perth on Monday.
Attention is likely to focus on the half-back pairing of Owen Farrell and Mike Phillips, the Richie Gray-Paul O'Connell second-row partnership and an all-Welsh back-row of Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric and Toby Faletau.
There might be 17 Lions newcomers in the matchday 23, but a hard edge of considerable Test match experience should underpin a comprehensive victory.
"There will be a few nervous bodies out there, but these boys are the best of the best, you know. They are good Test match arena players and they cope with pressure really well," Farrell added.
"We've been training for three weeks now, and we are itching for a game.
"We can sit here and talk about how fantastically well the last three weeks have gone, but there is no doubt about it, you need to get out there - 15 against 15 - make some mistakes and have some footage to work on and get better with.
"That's what rugby is all about, learning to adapt in situations that you can't replicate on a training field.
"It has been fantastic so far. Everyone is learning and I think the stand-out thing for me would be how quickly they (players) adapt and the work ethic they show. They want to try to sort problems straightaway.
"The speed of how they do things and speed of how they learn has been fantastic to watch.
"I suppose everyone is a little bit nervous, really. Everyone fully understands that everyone will get a couple of starts and get to show what they've got and this is the start tomorrow.
"Everyone has been waiting for it, to get the show on the road and put their best foot forward."
