REACTION: Rennie laments 'not good enough' Wallabies
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie is frank with his assessment on Stan Sport.
"Massive disappointment. It's not good enough," Rennie said.
"We conceded four tries with kicks in behind us and got dominated in collisions. We definitely lacked cohesion. There was a few changes but we're better than that.
"We want to earn the respect of the country and you don't do it with performances like that.
"We had a good enough side on the paddock to do the job. We've got to be better.
"We know we'll get a few guys back (against South Africa in Adelaide) but whoever puts the jersey on has got to front."

FULLTIME: Pumas obliterate Wallabies in record 48-17 win
What a wonderful day for Argentinian rugby as Tomas Albornoz scores an incredible try to seal a record 48-17 win over the woeful Wallabies.
Incredibly, that puts Los Pumas on top of the Rugby Championship after two rounds and has completely taken the wind out of Australia's sails.
The undermanned Wallabies must lick their wounds and return home to prepare for a date with the world champion - and also stinging - Springboks in Adelaide on August 27.
"Clearly disappointed, that probably fell short of standards," stand-in Wallabies captain James Slipper said.
"They're a tough team to play catchup footy against. Every (Rugby Championship) team has won one now and we're excited to go home for two games against South Africa. Looking forward to playing in front of our fans."
