This match merely confirmed that Australia just don't have the depth to compete with New Zealand anymore... we can't lose players like Ione, Palu, Hynes, Cooper and now Horne and still be competitive. Even with a full compliment we'd only get the odd win. The problem is endemic; Rugby in Australia has fallen massively in terms of its market share and in public interest. 10 years ago a bledisloe cup match would sell out instantly, now you often find empty seats and the TV ratings have dropped a staggering 70% in comparison with 2004. I don't know what's happened, but the fortunes of Rugby in Australia are now well and truly on their knees and it's not going to get better any time soon.
