Ireland vs Australia- Sat 11am

vladimirtheass · 2008-06-09 10:02:40

Leaving behind another Test against New Zealand that got away, how does everyone feel we will perform against the Aussies?Are they there for the taking with Robbie Deans having just two weeks to work with his players for the first time or will he have them humming with a string Waratha's pack and usual running backs. IMO…

Good expansive play from Ireland, but dangerous.

is it just a case of bad defending or perhaps down to Australia being physicially stronger to a man. They just don't seem to be able to cope with the pace and power of the Australians. The Australians look threatening with ball in hand all the time.

bad defending - these are pro athletes - they should all be able to wrap these guys around the ankles - what to about the offloads though - thats another story

Stringer had a beauty of a box kick a few minutes ago. Looks like BOD is ok.
