“Everyone is disappointed and now we’ll go away and review everything. We’ll leave no stone unturned in the review process,” said the Wales head coach.
“We felt we went OK in the first half, it wasn’t perfect but we created a couple of opportunities. We certainly got into the 22 and created some attacking moments and then kicked possession away.
“We felt we could hurt them by building phases. Second half, we had no continuity, and we were probably second-best in a lot of the collisions and the aerial game.
“We have to pull apart why we didn’t bring the energy on the field, particularly in the second half.”
A week on from the 20-13 win over Argentina, it was a disappointing result that left Wales having won one and lost two in the Autumn Nations Series. They face Australia in their final game on Saturday.
“We’ve turned things around before, although unfortunately we’ve had to do it one time too many, from my point of view,” he added.
“Seven days is a long time in rugby and this is not a nice place to be. We’ll look at our own performance as a coaching group in terms of the working week, and then look at the game and pull that to bits.
“We need t review this game quickly and quickly prepare for a different opponent in Australia. We have to make sure we get a performance we’re happy with and proud of.
“Every time you lose a game, it leaves a scar. We’re in the game to win Test matches and next weekend will be no different. We know we have them in our Pool at the World Cup, and we need a big week and a very strong performance.
“We want to look at what’s ahead of us and that’s Australia. That’s what our focus has to be on.”
Wales skipper Justin Tipuric said his side now has to “stick together” after suffering a painful defeat and come out firing against the Wallabies.
“In rugby, there are ups and downs and this is definitely a down moment. We have to stick together because on our day, we’re a quality side” said Tipuric.
“We have to go out firing next week. It felt stop-start out there – we’d have some momentum and then lose it. You can speak out there as much as you want, but unless the reactions happen, which they didn’t, then you are going to be on the back foot.
“You have to give Georgia credit, the finished the game very well. It can’t just be all down to us.”
