Australia coach Michael Cheika admits that "too many mistakes" cost his team during their heavy defeat to New Zealand.

Australia coach Michael Cheika has admitted that his side made "too many mistakes" during their defeat to New Zealand.

The Wallabies were thrashed 41-13 at Eden Park on Saturday as the All Blacks clinched the Bledisloe Cup.

Australia won the Rugby Championship by beating the world champions in Sydney last week, but Cheika concedes that his players failed to rediscover that form in Auckland.

"We just made too many mistakes and there was a period there where we kicked the ball away a bit too much; and those mistakes hurt us," he told reporters.

"I thought we didn't improve from last week. They did. And away from home you're going to feel that pain. When we did turn the ball over, we just scrambled a bit too hard made a few mistakes on tackles; we could have shut some things down but that's the way it goes."

Australia return to action on September 5 when they face the USA in Chicago for a Rugby World Cup warm-up match.
