"It's a new week. There was disappointment there definitely but we've got to shift that focus pretty quickly," he said. "It's a great opportunity this week to do well and do the business and lock away the Bledisloe.
"It's important that we got back to what we do well. It was a tough game in all respects on Saturday night so we're just about going back to the drawing board and doing the things that suit us, which are carrying hard and tackling well and recycling the ball really quick."
Read added of the key to unlocking the All Blacks' attack: "It's having a really hard work ethic to get into positions across the park so we can really use the ball - let it do its thing, which is what we try to do best."
An intriguing subplot is the injury status of midfielder Ma'a Nonu and loose forward Jerome Kaino. They were due to have scans on their respective shoulder and elbow injuries yesterday, but, according to Read, it wouldn't surprise if neither was available.
If that is the case then Steve Hansen will have to decide who to select alongside the returning Conrad Smith in the midfield - Malakai Fekitoa or Ryan Crotty? The selection of Liam Messam for Kaino is likely to boost the All Blacks' attack slightly but another centre partnership after last Saturday's misfire is far from ideal.
There should be an improved ruthlessness among the forwards, but some things once again will be out of their control, such as the referee's rulings and the officiating of scrums in particular.
There is no doubt the All Blacks would like more reward for their dominant scrum. Their frustration levels mounted in Sydney as referee Jaco Peyper continually reset a Wallabies scrum following collapses when a case could easily have been made for an All Black penalty.
"We put pressure on, and whether teams can handle it - we've just got to continue to be smart about that," Read said about the All Blacks' scrum.
"You want to put as much pressure on as you can without giving away penalties."
Asked about the penalty count against the All Blacks, Read said: "I don't think it's an issue. It's probably something we certainly need to improve on. We can't be giving away the amount of penalties that we did give away last week ... it's about us being disciplined enough to back ourselves and our systems."
