The Australian media has a bit of a reputation within the travelling press pack for being reluctant to give credit where it's due but the fairly glowing praise for the tourists continued pretty much unabated. "Claw-ful Reds" said the Brisbane Sunday Mail, adding "Outclassed by rampant Lion pride." The Sun Herald also gushed over the tourists win in Ballymore, albeit with a little rider. "Watch out Wallabies: impressive tourists batter injury-depleted Reds in bruising battle."
