Wallabies coach Dave Rennie reckons the pounding losses to New Zealand will help rather than hinder his side as they build towards the 2023 World Cup.
The All Blacks secured a 3-0 Bledisloe Cup series whitewash with a 38-21 win in Perth.
The six-tries-to-three triumph followed on from two victories in Auckland, which included a 57-22 shellacking in the second Test.
Rennie has two more years to whip his team into shape ahead of the World Cup in France, and he feels the lessons learned from the losses to NZ will help.
During Rennie's time in charge of the Wallabies, Australia have won just one of their seven Tests against NZ, along with one draw.
He says they have a lot of good men who are working really hard.
Rennie says they have to get better he feels they are trending in the right direction.
Australia will face South Africa at 10.05pm this Sunday while the All Blacks will take on Argentina at 7.05pm Sunday.
