The lessons learned from South Africa?

Geoff Parkes takes to The Wrap to highlight how the All Blacks definitely did, and how the Wallabies might have as well - just not in a good way.

#NZLvAUS

All Blacks retain the Bledisloe Cup AGAIN. Impressive 2nd half #NZLvAUS #NEWvAUS

24 bloody years #NZLvAUS

Seriously, the number of times the ref had to tell various players "stop yelling at me" just gives me depression.

#NZLvAUS

First time in a few years I've made time to watch the #AllBlacks . Good fun, and reassuring in a chaotic world to see Eden Park is still impregnable. #Rugby #NZLvAUS

All Blacks fans go to games against the Wallabies just so they can feel good about themselves. Surely they don't get much joy from winning the Bledisloe, it being such a given nowadays #NZLvAUS

not a great miss from Meredith 😕 #NZLvAUS

love how the replay doesn't let us see what looked like a high tackle from Vaa'i #NZLvAUS

Tate and Lonergan having pretty poor games, don't think any of Lonergan's kicks were up to his standard tonight #NZLvAUS

forward pass in the lead-up there? #NZLvAUS

would Marius have caught that if not for our kerfuffle? #NZLvAUS

gotta say, Angus Bell has been very quiet tonight, at least in attack #NZLvAUS

euuuggghhh #NZLvAUS

yeah that's a shit call. that's still a maul, Valentini had that covered #NZLvAUS
