Brutal review leaves Slipper, Wallabies desperate for bounce back

Wallabies centurion James Slipper is confident they can turn around last week's performance as they prepare to face the Springboks in Perth this Saturday.

The back-to-back world champions blew away the Wallabies in a 33-7 defeat to hand coach Joe Schmidt his first loss in charge.

The loss left the side to endure a tough review after a poor start which saw them concede four penalties in the first eight minutes and miss 13 tackles in the first quarter.

Prop James Slipper admits that it’s been a pretty disappointing review of the players' and when they look at the game plan itself, it probably was not executed well by the players.

He says they were under a lot of pressure going into half-time.

Slipper admits they went away from the game plan, which forced them to chase the game in a much better second half performance.

Slipper remains confident they can turn around their performance within a week, with the Pumas win over the All Blacks being proof of this.

The Wallabies will meet the Springboks at 9.45pm Saturday and the All Blacks will host Argentina at 7.05pm Saturday.
