Warner said it will be tough to hold back emotions at the SCG after watching Hughes sustained a blow to his neck in a domestic Game in November last year that led to his death.
"This Test I honestly can't tell you until I go out there and sing that national anthem and walk out there," Warner said.
"At the moment, not just for me but for the guys that were here (when Hughes was struck) as well they are putting on a brave face," said Warner.
Warner admitted that it will be difficult not to think about the incident while playing the Test.
"It is going to be emotional. I know when I go to face up at that Randwick End, I'm going to be looking down at that spot. It's going to be tough but I've got to try and hold back the emotions and do what I do for the team and try and score runs.
