Enough's enough: Michael Hooper has pleaded with New Zealand crowds to stop the abuse. Credit:Getty Images "He's a great player and a great guy so I think everyone who enjoys footy wants to see him do well. "I think the booing's a bit below-the-belt sort of stuff. He deserves more than that as a player. "He's got more to bring. I think with more time on the field, and the performances that he can put on there, that will change and the booing will go because people will want to see him play. He's very exciting. "I can't comment for him, but personally something like that would spur you on, so I think he's got it under control."

Hooper kept to the line coming from the Wallabies camp since their 47-29 thumping by the All Blacks: that there was plenty of promise in the team's attacking performance. "We are positive about it. We put 29 points on, which is something that we've only done twice in the last 10 or so years, so being together for two weeks, I think that's a great achievement," said Hooper, who was the best Australian performer on the night. "We gave them too many opportunities. I think the focus is about not giving them those opportunities – loose ball, loose carries – we need to tighten those things up. "They're a great team – the fact they can capitalise on and put 47 points on us. We can't let them have that. "Physically we did alright but I think we can really take steps in improving that and try to dominate them. We have a good mobile pack and I feel like we can exploit that and really get over the game line. We're mobile and get through a lot of carries."

Hooper, fresh from signing a new three-year deal with the Australian Rugby Union and NSW Waratahs, said that even though the All Blacks could claim a psychological advantage because they had held the Bledisloe Cup for the past decade, the Wallabies were "hungry for success". "They'll be nervous about losing it and we really want it," Hooper said. "We've got two games now to claw it back and it's going to be tough over there but we all really want it." Openside breakaway Hooper was outstanding at the breakdown against McCaw and set up Will Genia's first-half try. He said the All Blacks were a very different proposition to the British and Irish Lions, who beat Australia 2-1 in the recent series. "They've got a different way of doing things," Hooper said. "Richie's good at just getting involved and putting general pressure on without being a real on-the-baller. They're strong across the board in the forwards at putting pressure on there and have got good defenders in the backs.

"In terms of them compared to the Lions, they're a bit more technical; the Lions were very physical." Loading Meanwhile, Hooper, who has 17 Test appearances, said he was eyeing a long Wallabies career after signing beyond the 2015 World Cup. "With the Wallabies, once you get a taste of it you really want more, so it was an easy decision for me," he said.
