• San Francisco boss hesitant for team to play another game in Melbourne

• LA Rams head coach Sean McVay refuses to blame travel plan for loss

Victorious San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he loves Australia, the “gladiator-ish” MCG and its surface, the local hospitality and the country’s NFL fans, even if he may not want to play another game so far away from home.

After the 49ers’ 27-7 victory over the LA Rams in the first NFL match in Australia, the 46-year-old revealed he wants to come back to holiday and see more of the country than this week’s goldfish bowl routine of hotel-to-practice-to-hotel would allow.

• Purdy throws three TDs in dominant 27-7 victory

• Crowd of 100,021 packs Melbourne Cricket Ground

• Stafford held to 155 yards as Rams offense sputters

Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel caught touchdown passes from Brock Purdy, and the San Francisco 49ers routed the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 Friday in the first NFL regular-season game in Australia.

Purdy passed for 205 yards against the Rams’ ineffective defense at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of 100,021 fans, the seventh-largest regular season crowd in NFL history.
