Simmons described the match as a "free hit" for the country competition and said he couldn't be happier with his 12-man line-up.
CAW Hume lost to Wagga by 35 runs in December 2019.
"I don't think anyone will give us a chance again but I'm not too worried about that," Simmons said.
"Everyone has put their hand up and is ready to go. We've got a good bunch of cricketers.
"I think 90 per cent could play in town so we just need to set ourselves for the task and take it from there."
The winner of Sunday's clash at Wagga's Robertson Oval will play CAW for the O'Farrell Cup.
CAW Hume will be at full strength with key players including The Rock-Yerong Creek's Todd Hannam, Brock-Burrum's Darcy I'Anson and Rand's Mark Kreutzberger making themselves available.
While Wagga will start raging favourites, Simmons' side will be buoyed by Holbrook and District's thrilling three-wicket win against Wagga in 2018, to hold the O'Farrerll Cup over winter.
That Robertson Oval win came only months after the Border Bullets were humiliated by the Wagga Sloggers
The CAW Hume team is: T. Simmons (c), S. Terlich, M. Taylor, K and C. McCarthy, H. Mackinlay, M. Kreutzberger, T. Hannam, R. Kirkwood, E. Perryman, D and T. I'Anson.
