Former Wallaby skipper Andrew Slack opens fire on the Wallabies' performance in the opening Tri-Nations game in The New Zealand Herald.
"When All Blacks are born, God clearly injects more of the genes responsible for ruthlessness and composure into them than he does into an infant Wallaby.
"For the opening quarter of Saturday night's Bledisloe Cup match, it was the All Blacks who looked like no-walk, no-talk toddlers, with the Wallabies in full charge of the creche.
"Eventually though, and by no means for the first time in an encounter between the two countries, the roles reversed. Richie McCaw's men matured and Stirling Mortlock's troop went back to kindergarten.
"The momentum, the wind and 10 points on the board should have been the springboard to push 10 up to 20."
