Eddie Jones has criticised the "demeaning, disrespectful and disgusting" treatment of England in Australia.
While the players enjoyed measured celebrations after their 39-28 win in Brisbane, knowing one more victory would seal an historic series triumph, Jones braced himself for hostility "coming at us left, right and centre".
The Australian objected to what he felt was an inappropriate question asked by former Wallabies flanker Steve Hoiles at the post-match press conference and was incensed by a promotional TV advert.
The tongue-in-cheek trailer, shown on Australian television in the build-up to the first Test, showed pundits mocking past English failures and declared a successful series for the World Cup finalists a foregone conclusion.
Sky's World Cup winner Will Greenwood responded to the message with a video of his own reminding the great Australian public of some notable England successes.
Jones, who had the last laugh with England's first ever win in Brisbane, said: "You've seen the promotions and the kind of questions we get. It's quite demeaning and disrespectful to the team, so we're not going to let this opportunity pass.
"Without a doubt we've been disrespected. You get that sort of ridiculous question from Hoiles.
"The team has been disrespected. I'm not worried about myself, I can handle myself. Don't worry about that. I don't talk about it to the team. We talk about rugby."
England responded with a stirring comeback victory at Suncorp Stadium, in the process posting their highest points total in the southern hemisphere, and Jones insists their welcome will only further motivate his tourists in the potentially-decisive second instalment in Melbourne.
"I'm sure they are all going to be lining up this week," added Jones.
"There has been a row of ex-Wallabies so far - you've had Hoiles, you've had Simon Poidevin and you've had Kearns.
"David Campese has got to be somewhere. He's coming for sure. I can see next week something is going to happen.
"It's not important for us to earn respect, it's important for us to win. That's the only thing. This is about us, not about Australia.
"We want the England team to be strong, we want to play good rugby and to do that, it's about us."
