There was one worse when we got raped by Sydney in a game at Penrith many years ago. Think Matt Cooper might have played his first AB game that night.

Where did that come from? Best we've played in years.

We got the rub of the green, but we've had that before and still lost. Glad we made it count. Scored some lovely tries.

Bring on Eden Park.

The Wallabies by far the better team

That was true before Scott Barrett’s idiocy too

According to the stats, Richie Mo'unga made 8 tackles and missed 0. Excellent on defence; it was others who missed their man.

Worst loss I can remember against Oz.

The one in 2011 felt similar , but we lost players through injury , this one was worse because we looked clueless

No physicality on D at all.

So, brain farts and basic rugby skills aside...let's move some furniture on the Titanic. BB back to 10? BFA to fullback? The AB's tag out and let the Black Ferns do the rest?

Just looking at the first half, we got blown away up front. Forwards got owned.

Franks is gone, Moody not much better. Dual sevens didn’t work. Brodie is a massive, massive loss.

Richie is not ready to be a Test ten, midfield is disjointed, Smith is slow, can’t get any decent ball to Ioane and our best back has to play ten and 15

This has been coming for some time. We keep being told that we can play rugby without the ball. Kicking it away. The Wallabies showed that keeping the ball in hand is what matters. Some of our tight forwards struggle with their hands. Tonight they lost the contact as well.

Fixes needed

Don't panic
Ben Smith to 15 or not in the team
Choose a midfield and stick with it !!! The choice should not involve Ben Smith to 13.
Get Braydon Ennor onto the reserves
Need new starting props

Otherwise I don't see what else we can do really.

Firstly, the Wallabies were so good, well done. They were the best team in ever facet and this was a deserved thumping

What do these “just a game” coaches do with their off season? Scoff pies at supposedly off the record functions and watch golf?
