Wallabies to bounce back
August 08, 2008
WALLABIES coach Robbie Deans believes some of his players may have "relaxed" in the return rugby Test against the All Blacks in Auckland.
The Australians were given a massive reality check last Saturday, after five successive victories to start Deans' reign, when they were steamrolled by New Zealand 39-10 at Eden Park.
That was just a week after an impressive Australian win in the Bledisloe Cup opener in Sydney.
Deans said the Wallabies failed to handle the physical intensity that New Zealand brought to the second game.
He said the players were excited and preparations ran smoothly but some may have slackened off.
