David Porecki, captain and hooker
On what happened:
"Credit to Wales, they outplayed us tonight. I don’t have much to say, I'm embarrassed for the Aussie people. We were hoping to put a show on. It just wasn’t good enough. We’ve got to front up next week. This one hurts."
On Australia’s young group of players:
"Too early to tell [what went wrong]. We’ll do the review later. Just gutted at the moment, I've got to get round the boys and get ready for next week."
