Grant's disappointment was evident post-match, as he took responsibility for his below-par performance and acknowledged the need to bounce back quickly with the World Cup on the horizon.
The defeat marked the first time Australia had been held scoreless in a Test match since 1963, and the first time they had lost to New Zealand on home soil since 1953.
Grant's focus will now be on regaining his form and confidence in the lead-up to the World Cup, where he will be aiming to play a key role in Australia's bid to reclaim their status as the world's best rugby league team.
