    Not surprised. They are only happy when Ireland are losing...

    Pope is delighted to be fair and I'd say Frankie is too.

    I reckon Darcy is out for the tournament though, I'd be worried, there's noone really to replace him.

    McFadden is a better 12 imo Sexton showed he can do a job at 12

    George Hook has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp! The man is not very happy Ireland won. :D

    Anyway, the Irish forwards were too good for the Aussies. Congrats to the team.

    Fantastic win, the scrum were magnificent. Who knows how far we can go in this tournament with the momentum behind us?

    Kidney has a hard call to make at number 10.

    Fair play to the Australian pundits on Fox Sports, not blaming their loss on Lawrence's interpretation at scrum time. I thought some of Lawrence's decisions were a bit questionable and expected it to be used as a cop out by the Australians. However they are justifying all the penalties.

    Fantastic result, 1 - 9 played out of their skins ....

    why was the try just before the end disallowed?

    Hook is happier when he can slate the ireland team. That's why I voted for Matt Williams in the poll :D

    That could solve Kidney's dilemma. Play Sexton at 12, O'Gara at 10 and O'Gara to take the kicks.

    Fantastic performance.

    Kidney suitably restrained in his post match interview.

    IMO one of the best sporting performances of an Irish team in my memory.

    I thought the RTE panel especially Hook were a little downbeat.

    Cian Healy MOTM, well deserved.



    Yeah, was Hook a little disappointed we won ?

    O'Connell interview on ITV is great, not getting carried away and saying this is the level of performance we should expect

    PREDICTIONIreland need to step up in every department to live with Australia. On paper if both sides turn up there is only one winner. If Australia are allowed to play their natural game, then Ireland's challenge won't last long. If the Irish go out with an attitude of "We'll give it a lash" and get in the faces of the Wallabies early, they could cause problems. The decision making between kicking, running and passing will prove crucial. Australia are too naturally talented and no matter how much pressure they are put under, they will create chances and score tries. Ireland have been written off but they still have the capacity to spring a surprise. Still it's an unlikely event here: Australia to win by 10-15 points.

    Never been happier in my life to get a prediction hopelessly wrong.

    Great game. Can we do what England does and play highlights of it for the next four years now?
