Forget the 16-16 draw in Wellington a few weeks ago, which was just another false dawn.
The Australian media have trashed the team coached by Dave Rennie after their 43-5 beating of the All Blacks in Sydney on Saturday night, labeling them everything from “terrible” to “diabolical”.
David Nduwimana, the man who sang the Australian national anthem before kick-off, was almost the only one who received praise. Fox Sports said writer Zac Rayson.
Sydney morning herald Writer Sam Phillips opened his assault by tagging the Wellington draw, which at the time had the Australians buzzing, and sniffing the end of their Bledisloe Cup drought, a “false dawn.”

“It is not an exaggeration to say that there was only one bright spot in the full 80 minutes – Jordan Petaia’s run in the run-up to Noah Lolesio’s try was brilliant,” Phillips wrote.
“The Wallabies were devilish in a 43-5 loss. The 38-point margin of defeat made it the worst loss to New Zealand in the 117-year history of the Bledisloe Cup.

The Wallabies available after another Bledisloe Cup hammering the All Blacks.
“Let that sink in.”
He threw the “absurd” amount of the ball they delivered through forced passes and unforced handling errors, saying the bright lights beat rookies Noah Lolesio and Irae Simone.
Speaking of pivot Lolesio and midfielder Simone, they scored 4 and 4.5 respectively in Fox Sport player rankings.
That was on par with the rest of the team, with fin Marika Koroibete giving the team a maximum of seven, despite scoring a try due to poor ball control at the final bell.
“Its [Lolesio] He showed inexperience, especially in the first half. Lolesio’s decision making showed the kind of youthful exuberance, or naivety, that just isn’t good enough on a wet night against a team as relentless as the All Blacks, ”Rayson wrote.

The Wallabies could only see how the All Blacks held up the Bledisloe Cup for the 18th year in a row.
Jacob Polychronis, also from Fox Sports, he also did not hold back and called his latest beating a “horror show”, while his colleague Mark St John also fired some shots.
He said the lackluster defense and aimless kicks that have dogged the Australians since 2002 were never more apparent than in the first half, when the All Blacks built a 26-0 lead en route to winning the Bledisloe Cup for the 18th year. consecutive.
“Despite some promising signs with Dave Rennie in Wellington, the overwhelming conclusion of the first three games of the Bledisloe Cup is that the Wallabies not only kick too much, they are simply not good at kicking,” wrote St John.

Wallabies captain Michael Hooper must be fed up with the post-game interviews after the loss to New Zealand.
“Experience may have something to do with it, but the amount of aimless kicks in the first half at ANZ Stadium was appalling.”
Phillips said Rennie, who has not won in three games as the Wallabies coach, can only be “desperately” searching for answers before next Saturday night’s game at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
“The record loss will mean there are absolutely no expectations for the Wallabies in that game. But playing well in that match will be just another false dawn. You’d think Wallabies fans could see one of those from a mile away now. “
