Bugs nor banter can better these blokes.
If it wasn't listening devices, it was the barbs of Wallaby coach Michael Cheika being aimed at the All Blacks this week. None were able to knock them off their stride, as they responded the way they have done so many times before.
The final score from ANZ Stadium of New Zealand 42, Australia 8 doesn't really do the victors justice. Their win was so complete and so convincing that it should crush whatever confidence the Wallabies came into the Rugby Championship with.
Cheika might be combative, but his team aren't, and the chances of them keeping the Bledisloe Cup series alive by winning in Wellington next Saturday look very bleak indeed.
New Zealand 42 (Ryan Crotty, Beauden Barrett, Jerome Kaino, Waisake Naholo, Dane Coles, Julian Savea tries; Barrett 3 con, 2 pen) Australia 8 (Nick Phipps try; Bernard Foley pen). HT: 32-3. Crowd: 65,328.

Australian police are investigating a suspicious "electronic device" found at the All Blacks team hotel in Sydney but say they only became aware of the matter via a media report five days after it was originally found.
It is understood a sophisticated listening device was found in the All Blacks' team room at their Intercontinental Double Bay hotel on Monday ahead of the Bledisloe Cup opener on Saturday.
New Zealand Rugby (NZR) said in a statement that an investigation was underway, after the device was found in a team meeting room.
"A listening device was found in a meeting room this week during a routine security check," NZR chief executive Steve Tew said.
"The hotel immediately launched an investigation, we have informed the Australian Rugby Union, and jointly we have now decided to hand over the investigation to the Australian police.
"We are taking this issue very seriously, and given it will be a police matter, it would not be prudent to go into further details."
The sophisticated device - described as similar to that used by law enforcement and spying agencies - had been planted in a chair in the hotel where the team have been staying since Sunday, NZME reported.
