Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt has been left to celebrate his first day as a retired man following their thumping win over Italy.
Schmidt's time is up as coach, ending with a 57-10 victory in front of a record crowd for a Wallabies Test at Perth's HBF Park.

Lock Josh Canham cashed in with a hat-trick, the first second-rower to do so for the Wallabies as they were never troubled by a weakened Italian team.
It was Australia's highest score in his two-and-a-half-year tenure and their largest on home soil since 2014.
"I'm just delighted with the effort from the players," Schmidt said.
"I thought we had a real steel about us today, and I'm just relieved and retired, really.
"I'm going to try to celebrate till midnight, and then I might celebrate as a retired gentleman for a couple more hours.
"I've massively enjoyed the group. I think they're a great group of young men, and there are some very good footy players amongst them."
In a fiery end to the game, Italy prop Marco Riccioni was red-carded in the 66th minute for his involvement in a sideline melee.
Riccioni had already been subbed out of the game when he ran in to join brawling players right near the Italian bench.
The impressive win helped erase the pain of last week's 42-26 loss to France, when Australia conceded 30 consecutive points in a woeful second half.
"We were clinical, we had a lot of positive moments in a row and our discipline's improved," captain Harry Wilson said.
"(After Italy scored to begin the second half) we just said, 'This isn't happening again'.
"We've had two weeks of pain, the boys said, 'that's enough' and went out and dominated after that."
Italy moved to 0-3 in the tournament, captain Michele Lamaro filthy with his side's effort.
"Gutted. Very disappointed with the result and performance we put in and nothing more, honestly,'' he said.
"You have to face yourself, look in the mirror and really think about your stuff."
