Sydney, June 28, 2015: Australia were hoping to carry on the momentum from its big finish against Brazil on Saturday night, but after sticking with the visitors for the first set and much of the second, the class of the South Americans shone through in the third. Brazil took the opportunity to give most of their players court time

BRAZIL CAPTAIN BRUNO REZENDE: "It's very important we improve every meeting. We have not just six players who can play, but 14 or 16. This maybe makes the difference."

AUSTRALIAN CAPTAIN TOM EDGAR: "Brazil were good teachers this weekend. They taught us a good lesson. I'm pretty shattered with the way we played today, but we will grow. I really want to finish off with two wins next weekend against Serbia in Melbourne next weekend."

AUSTRALIAN COACH ROBERTO SANTILLI: "I think today was a bad reaction from our team. We only played one set and then the team disappeared.We tried to make some changes but they didn't work. We didn't play well technically, but we also didn't show the fighting spirit we need in World League."

BRAZIL ASSISTANT COACH ROBERLEY LEONALDO: "We changed a lot of guys, six guys from yesterday, and they played well.In the first set we had problems with reception, but we worked on it. It is important we give our players court time."
