Wallabies sick of being one hit wonders

12:27 pm on 27 July 2010

The Wallabies are sick of being one-hit wonders and want back-to-back victories when they host New Zealand in Melbourne in their Tri-Nations rugby union clash on Saturday night.

After their convincing win over South Africa last Saturday in Brisbane, the Australians are focused on achieving consistent success - something that has eluded them in recent years.

Berrick Barnes, who is set to take over from suspended Quade Cooper at five-eighth if the Wallabies' appeal against his two-match ban fails, says Australia have been guilty of getting carried away after a victory.

Barnes says in the past they've let themselves get caught up believing their own press after a win, so they're focusing heavily this week on getting back-to-back results.

The Wallabies have lost their last seven matches against the All Blacks.
