Allan Alaalatoa says Wallabies must carry chip on the shoulder into final Bledisloe Cup clash with All Blacks

The Australian prop has been left "gutted" after the Wallabies crashed to a 43-5 defeat to the All Blacks in Sydney on Saturday night - their biggest loss to their trans-Tasman rivals.

Alaalatoa concedes it will make for an uncomfortable review with the Wallabies now returning to their Hunter Valley training base.

But the 26-year-old says that might be a blessing in disguise for an outfit which needs to orchestrate a miraculous turnaround when they meet the All Blacks in Brisbane this week.

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie's post-game message centred on accuracy. Mistakes proved costly, with the hosts turning over possession with regularity and failing to build sustained pressure with the forward pack soundly beaten.

MORE RUGBY UNION

It seemed as though Australia steered away from the game plan at will and threw ill-fated offloads in conditions which did not suit, while the kicking game left a lot to be desired. Nic White's boot seems to have fallen out of the equation to beat the All Blacks, while debutants Noah Lolesio and Irae Simone lacked direction with their kicks.

"The more we hold each other accountable in review, the more boys put up their hand and own their mistakes, it's going to be great for our team," Alaalatoa said.

"It's going to be a good learning for us, we've got to understand we've got to grow from this loss. It's more about the how, where we can be better and applying that through our training.

"As a leader, you've got to make sure we don't sugar coat anything, we make sure we hold boys accountable, because everybody has got to be better across the board. We'll make sure we understand how that looks.

"[Rennie] just said we need to be more clinical and we need to be more accurate. I think he nailed that after the game. There's no lack of intent or no lack of effort from everyone involved. We need to have the ability to play what's in front and we can't do that if we don't have the pill.

"You can look at the difference in all three games, where we've gone well we've kicked well, we carried well and held onto the pill. In those last two games, we showed if we don't do that, it hurts, especially against a side like the All Blacks.

"We want to bring the intent and effort, it's always going to be there at Test level, we need to be accurate. We can't give a side like the ABs any opportunity. They'll take it with both hands."

The Wallabies could welcome back James O'Connor from a knee injury for the fourth Test of the series, with the flyhalf - who was close to featuring in Sydney - likely to return in place of Lolesio.

Simone's place in the No. 12 jersey will likely come under scrutiny but he still seems the best like-for-like replacement at inside centre in the absence of Matt To'omua. In any case it would be hard for a player in his position to make an impact with so little ball.

Alaalatoa captains Lolesio and Simone at the ACT Brumbies at Super Rugby level and has backed the duo to bounce back from tough debuts should they get the nod in Brisbane.

"I've been involved with them for the past couple of years, I know what they're like, their character," Alaalatoa said.

"It was a special moment for them, seeing all the hard work they've put in to earn their starting jerseys, while I was just gutted we couldn't put on a performance for their milestone.

"We're all gutted. We've all got to have that chip on the shoulder heading into our preparation and making sure we do everything we can to get better, so we can put on a better performance [in Brisbane]."
