Wallabies skipper wants his side to cut loose
Australia captain David Pocock has urged his side to cut loose in Saturday's final Test against Wales.
Mike Harris' penalty from the touchline after the final siren in Melbourne snatched a 25-23 victory and gave the Wallabies an unassailable lead in the three-Test series.
But although Australia are clearly delighted with the results against the RBS Six Nations champions, they are well aware they could easily be staring at a 2-0 deficit after two close encounters.
And Pocock, who is likely to captain the Wallabies for the rest of the year after regular skipper James Horwill had hamstring surgery on Monday, wants his side to put on a show at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.
"It's great to have taken the series out now with the two wins but it's a great opportunity to play some better rugby here in Sydney - we've really got to push on and show some more attacking rugby and actually use the ball a lot more," Pocock said.
Lucky
"We haven't played the best in the last two games and we know that, so we were pretty lucky to come up with the win after coughing up so much ball and giving them that one pretty easy try."
The Wallabies will break camp on Sunday and return to their franchises for the final two rounds of the regular season in the Super Rugby.
Robbie Deans' side will reassemble in early August ahead of their opening game of the Rugby Championship against the All Blacks in Sydney on August 18.
"It's important for us to take that next step leading in to the Rugby Championship," Pocock said.
"This is our last week together as a group and then we break for a month or so and we see this as a crucial game in our development.
"We're delighted to win of course but we're very aware that as a group we've got a lot more improvement in us and come the Rugby Championship it's going to be a step up again."
