Giant lock Will Skelton said yesterday he intends to use his physicality to rattle the All Blacks in Australia's must-win Rugby Championship Test in Perth after missing their agonising defeat in Auckland.
Skelton, who towers 2.03m, was a menace against the British and Irish Lions this year, with his presence also felt in the Wallabies' two Tests against South Africa.
He missed their home doubleheader against Argentina, because of club commitments with La Rochelle in France, and the 33-24 loss at Eden Park on Saturday which saw the Bledisloe Cup remain in New Zealand hands.
