Slipper said a possible dislocated elbow felt "pretty painful" in the wake of the Wallabies' stirring 24-22 triumph over the All Blacks in Brisbane on Saturday night, with team staff to monitor the injury before the side resumes its Tri-Nations campaign.

But the discomfort was offset by Australia's first Test win under Dave Rennie in a card-riddled affair to round out the Bledisloe Cup series ultimately won by New Zealand 2-1.

Rennie has handed 10 players Test debuts during his four games in charge, three of whom are 20 years old with Irae Simone and Filipo Daugunu the oldest of the bunch at 25.

Slipper says the decision to usher in a new era of players can help steer Australian rugby in the right direction.

MORE RUGBY UNION

But the veteran prop says delivering performances like that on the world stage must become the norm, with the win coming a week after their heaviest loss to New Zealand in 117 years.

"Short story, no. I guess when you set out on your career, I'm sitting next to Tom Wright who has just debuted, you never think about playing 100 Tests and I'm no different," Slipper said when asked if playing 100 Tests was a milestone he thought possible a few years ago.

"I obviously had some twists and turns and I am very surprised I actually made it here. At the end of the day I really want to win rugby games, so 100 games is good, but winning is better. We need a bit more of that.

"I've signed on at the Brumbies for another two years, I'm only 31 and as a front-rower that's pretty young, that's what I've been told. I'm just really excited. I've really enjoyed my last two years down in Canberra.

"Seeing players like Tommy come in, [Angus] Bell, [Lachlan] Swinton, there's been 10 debutants this year already. As far as direction-wise for Australian rugby, I'm really excited to see those young blokes come through.

"We've just got to be more consistent, and can't leave it to the last game, a dead-rubber, to win."

Rennie is adopting the same mentality as the Wallabies take a week to recover before facing Argentina for the final two matches of their Tri-Nations campaign over the coming month.

"There were some curveballs, but I was really proud of the steel that we showed and the impact we got off the bench to seal the win," Rennie said.

"What it tells us is that if we work hard enough for each other we can get results against anyone. "But it doesn't count for much if we don't back it up against Argentina in a couple of weeks.

"We're not getting carried away. It was a great performance but we've got to keep building."
