The Wallabies have done their best to move on from last year's World Cup but Nick Phipps says Australia will be channelling a similar no-second-chance approach to their must-win game against England in the second Test.
Finding themselves entrenched in the "group of death", Australia knew they could ill-afford a slip up against Fiji, Uruguay, England or Wales during the World Cup and it was this urgency that propelled them to the final against the All Blacks. 
Michael Cheika's men, while not competing for the Webb Ellis Cup this time around, have another trophy - the Cook Cup - they are just as keen to get their hands on after succumbing to an English onslaught in Brisbane orchestrated by coaching mastermind Eddie Jones.
Phipps said there was a definite sense of excitement at trying to wrestle back momentum in a series that could be all over by Saturday night.
"Test match footy is pressure, so we're really embracing the opportunity to bounce back and we know there's no second chances now and I think the experience we had over at the World Cup with no second chances every week pretty much, is something we'll be able to use to our full advantage," Phipps said.
At the World Cup the Wallabies had the advantage of playing every weekend while this time it had been seven months of rest, Super Rugby and training without a game together before last Saturday's clash.
Phipps said it was imperative to just get back to basics and be thorough in their preparation which will give them the best leg-up ahead of their Melbourne fixture.
"I think we've just got to make sure we're doing all the little things right," Phipps said. "You can impose the tempo on the game when you've got the ball and you can impose the tempo on the game when you're doing the right things like kicking the ball out on penalties, clearing well, exiting well, just getting in their half. Then we can play our style. The back line has got a lot of work to do this week ... Bernie [Stephen Larkham] will have a lot of stuff for us over the next few days."
Phipps, and Cheika a day earlier, weren't displeased about the performance of the backs after they ran in four tries to England's three.
Two of those were from breakaway Michael Hooper, who responded to his critics in the best fashion with the third double of his 52-Test career. The fact both of his five-pointers were scored on the wing shows the advantage of him acting as almost an eighth back, something Phipps said Australia would continue with for the rest of the series.
"The seagull, we're into him about that," Phipps said. "He's such a great player. He's not your standard seven either and he's always looking for opportunities. He was fitting right into our style and shape. Cheik always uses him to full effect when we need to and the ability to be able to slot him into any role with his skill-set around backline stuff is quite amazing for a guy of his size. He's a weapon we can use."
Phipps was his reliable self at halfback on Saturday, delivering quality service to five-eighth Bernard Foley throughout the Wallabies' 39-28 defeat. The 27-year-old believes, however, England's big men around the breakdown targeted him, meaning he will have to be more wary this weekend.
