SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia coach Michael Cheika said his team's work ethic was the key factor in their 18-9 victory over Ireland in Brisbane on Saturday but warned his players they would have to step up to another level next week.

Cheika blooded three new caps and got some big performances from his more experienced players as the Wallabies outscored the tourists two tries to nil to hand the Six Nations champions their first defeat in 13 tests.
