This time it was with a blue sky background that bore no signs of Friday's deluge that forced the Test's postponement to Sunday afternoon.
The Test was the first rugby league international in Australia to be washed out and Sheens said the mental hurdle would be the most difficult to overcome, especially for the side's four debutants, with the players finding out about the postponement after arriving at Suncorp Stadium.
"Obviously emotionally they were very high, particularly the debutants, they were really pumped," he said.
"It's not as if you weren't ready, we prepared to be ready no matter what.
"The side that handles that the best will definitely get an advantage."
Sheens said the extra day could serve as a positive for the Kangaroos, giving every player at least a week to back up from NRL football.
"We get back to training today and it's now a seven-day turnaround so instead of five days we should see physically a better side, both sides so that'll be one bonus."
Sheens echoed his captain Cameron Smith's comments that the spectacle would be better for the rescheduling.
"The state government pretty much closed Brisbane down at one stage there so... people weren't going to be able to get there anyway," he said.
"You pay a lot of money for a seat these days particularly a seat at a stadium like that for a test match so you want to get a decent game.
"The pitch was, well I say unplayable you could have but it wouldn't ve been much of a game.
"I think we'll see a better game of football and hopefully we'll get a great crowd out there and people will get value for their money."
With sunny skies and a high of 28 degrees predicted for Sunday, Sheens said the game would be make for a far better spectacle in dry weather.
"The fact that it will be dry gives us an ability to play a bit more open style of footy which we were planning to do anyway until the rain.
Kangaroos captain Cameron Smith said on Friday night, the players would not be preoccupied with 'what ifs' despite the rescheduling.
"You just need to wipe it from your head," he said.
"It's not thinking too much about are we going to do anything different.
"We do the same thing.
"We've got a lot of experienced guys in the side so I don't think that'll be an issue for us."
