The Wallabies are hurting and Eddie Jones has nothing on his mind but a 3-0 series whitewash as both teams try to get themselves up again, for different reasons, after a brutal second Test in Melbourne. 
England claimed a maiden series win on Australian soil with a 23-7 victory at AAMI Park on Saturday to extend Jones' perfect record with the old enemy to eight wins from eight attempts.
Statistics, however, paint a sobering picture, showing just how many opportunities Australia had to level the series. Despite 71 per cent of possession and 74 per cent territory, as well as making just 62 tackles to England's 213, the Wallabies penetrated England's line just once in 80 minutes via hooker Stephen Moore.
Australia made 501 metres to England's 226, strung together 224 passes to 62, ran the ball on 122 more occasions, but it was the Wallabies' 24 turnovers to the visitors' 10 which cost them.
"We just made too many errors in the important parts of the game," Moore said. "We had enough ball there to do something with and we didn't quite do what we wanted to with it."
Vice-captain Michael Hooper said although the Wallabies were in a "hole" after losing their third consecutive Test for the first time since their Spring Tour in   November 2014, they had no other option but to remain upbeat. "It hurts just as bad today and it's going to be a tough few days looking at the review," Hooper said. "It can only go up at the moment. We're pretty low; it's really hurt us."
Hooper's lows can be juxtaposed with Jones's highs after clinching a memorable series win in his homeland. Jones, however, is not satisfied. He wants his England squad to employ their ruthless mindset again and back up their 11 and 16-point wins with another dominant showing.
"We want to be the best team in the world and we want to win the series 3-0," Jones said. "If the All Blacks were in this situation now, what would they be thinking? It doesn't mean you can't change the team, they'd be thinking 3-0.
"We know Australia will come back. They're a well-coached, driven team, so we're anticipating quite a fiesty encounter at Sydney."
