A former All Blacks coach believes the Wallabies have sent an emphatic early warning to New Zealand before their Tri Nations opener.

Australia breezed past the second string Springboks side in a five tries to two effort in Sydney.

John Hart says it's a stark reminder for the All Blacks.

He says the Wallabies could have piled on the points if they held onto the ball.

Hart says the Wallabies boast a number of dangerous players that are capable of producing match-winning moments.
