The referee had a good, old look at that. It was very simple stuff from the five metre lineout.
When the ball slowed up, Cian Prendergast made a really strong carry and he fought to get through. He's not a huge man but he got his body height down and he spun and wriggled and got the ball down. Great stuff.
Australia 5-7 Ireland
I think we are the best team and can see us winning by 25 points. C’mon Ireland!

It's a bold prediction Steven, I'll give you that.

That's a great start from the Wallabies. It was great pressure. When they got the ball, they just kept it through the phases.
There was nothing that exciting about it - it was quick ball, good footwork, good hands and just really patient.
Dylan Pietsch
First blood Australia!
It's a superb start for the Wallabies as they work it through the hands and Dylan Pietsch races over out wide.
There was a stunning pick up from Jock Campebll in the middle of it all.
Carter Gordon sends the conversion wide.

It was pretty emotional when Angus Bell was leaving, as I got pretty close with him in the six months he was here.
There's no stopping for him and it'll be good to see how he goes today.
