Hooker Richard Hibbard says Wales will batter Wallabies like Lions did in Sydney Richard Hibbard charges at Wallaby prop Sekope Kepu during the British and Irish Lions' win at ANZ Stadium in Sydney. WALES will attempt to batter the Wallabies into submission in the same way the Welsh-heavy British and Irish Lions side did earlier this year in the series finale. Welsh hooker and Lions star Richard Hibbard revealed he was prepared to "crawl off" Millennium Stadium this weekend to finally end an eight-Test losing streak against Australia. The Lions, featuring 10 Wales stars, mauled the Wallabies in the third Test in Sydney. In the opening five minutes Hibbard clashed heads with No. 7 George Smith, who left the field dazed but later returned, while the red tide obliterated anything in gold before storming home in the final quarter for a comprehensive 41-16 victory. "We were physical, battered them for 60 minutes and that was the end of it, they couldn't survive after that - we have to bring that ferocity again," Hibbard said. It was intense but one of those situations where you don't want to walk off the pitch, you're willing to crawl off. You would do anything for the win because it's that important. It was the same against England (in Wales' Six Nations championship win) and the ferocity was just as high. We definitely want to win this, we're going to win this and we have to bring the intensity from the off and the physicality right across the park. The Wallabies have had an All Blacks' like aura over Wales since 2007, winning 11 of their 12 encounters. Richard Hibbard clashed heads with George Smith during a brutal opening to the third Wallabies-Lions Test. The last time Wales beat Australia, Michael Jackson was still alive and George Bush was the US President. "We've been so close over so many games but now is the time to do it," Hibbard said. We have been saying it so long and now we have to deliver. It's been so close for so many reasons. We're a bit wiser now, the boys have been through some good experiences and we've been together a long time. Any person who beats the Wallabies, with no matter what side, is going to bring that experience to the party. With Australia and Wales pitted in the same 2015 World Cup group, along with England, any psychological edge here could play a major role in two years' time. "We've set ourselves loads of targets over the next years, we're playing all of the top teams and we really want to get some scalps going into the World Cup to get over any perceived myth that they're better than us," Hibbard said. All southern hemisphere teams are a mental hurdle because they're always tough teams to beat. We expect to beat these teams now and having gone down with the Lions and been so close with Wales over the years, that hurdle is not there anymore. Indicative of the Welsh fervour to finally end the drought against the Wallabies, their defence coach Shaun Edwards revealed: "Obviously, you want to win every game. Let's be honest, I think this is a game everyone has been waiting for. Let's make no bones about. South Africa was a massive game against a world-class opponent, and I thought we did exceedingly well in that game. But I think at the back of the mind, everyone realises that Wales versus Australia have been brilliant games recently, so close, so competitive, a high standard of rugby.
