Hooper and his Australian team had its only run under the roof at Forsyth Barr Stadium yesterday morning and was eyeing up a big improvement from last week's defeat in Sydney.
The Australians never got out of first gear in Sydney and although the side played better in the second half it still lost by 20 points.
Hooper though was more than satisfied with the response from his side after the loss.
``I was happy to see the guys' disappointment. I was really disappointed and that trickled through the whole team after last week,'' he said.
``Just the way we were able to turn that round and have a really positive week this week.''
Hooper said the side had worked well in New Zealand but he knew the game was about delivering on the field rather than performing on the training paddock.
``Belief has not wavered ... our preparation shows where our belief is. The coaches have given us a strong plan where we went wrong and how we went wrong. If you look at it, last week we did not do the things we needed to do to prepare.
``Second half we came back a bit and showed we could play some really good rugby. We know they [All Blacks] will be putting up another good performance and they will be disappointed with the second half of their game.''
The Wallabies were forced to pull lock Adam Coleman out of its side yesterday due to an injured shoulder. He was replaced in the starting line-up by Rory Arnold with Reds youngster Isack Rodda called on to the bench.
Lopeti Timani was confirmed as loose forward cover on the Wallabies bench.
Hooper said Coleman was a loss but it was just a chance for another player, and he had full confidence in youngster Rodda, who is in his first Super Rugby season.
Hooper's side has written the script it needs to follow but what is said and what is performed are two different things.
The Wallabies need to cut out the silly errors and value possession better.
The sloppy mistakes which have plagued the Australian Super Rugby sides this year need to disappear from the Wallabies outfit.
The visiting team will look to key players such as Israel Folau, Kurtley Beale and Sean McMahon to stand up and make some metres.
