Ireland 26-23 Australia

Absolutely fantastic from Ireland - clean sweep... big statement of intent from us ahead of the 6 nations and the World Cup. Delighted!

Jiffy stating the obvious saying that Wayne Barnes has come down on the side of NZ. He's never been a friend of Wales, doesn't let the game flow, and at one point in this match he actually said himself that he had made a mistake!

As far as Wales are cocerned he is the most useless ref in rugby.

That's a very strong Irish side. I just hope it's not a repeat of 2006 when we had a clean sweep of the Autumn Internationals and thought we were going to have a great World Cup the following year

Good performance against New Zealand but it's going to be the same result yet again

New Zealand just too good, showing exactly why they are #1 in the world and world champions

Now to dust ourselves down and get ready for the final autumn match against South Africa next week

Great defence for 60 odd minutes. Edwards was no doubt very happy, but little cutting edge in attack ( great try though). As soon as Phillips came on for Webb, I thought it would not go Wales way.

Did Brian Moore make up his mind on mofm?

Not in my book, the pass might not have been forward but not a mission was that grounded after the line.

Great win though.

Yeah the grounding was very suspect too but I can live with it as we won .. Great form we are carrying into the 6 nations .. I fully expect us to be at the business end of the 6 nations and if we manage to carry form in the WC then anything is possible.

I can live with it now but if we hadn't won I suspect the referee and TMO would have been as welcome in Ireland as Martin Sludden is in Louth

In fairness I'm still bitching about the France try in the 6 nations (the grounded against the post one) and we won that game too!

Jamie Roberts got the nod in the end

ITV Evening News reported and showed highlights of England, Wales and Scotland but made no reference to Ireland. They don't seem to be aware that it is an all Ireland team with players from Ulster : I'm sure people in the UTV region must be bemused.

In fairness I was surprised that BBC made reference to it.

Ireland has been regarded as one of the "home" unions in international rugby for well over 100 years and plays under the flag of the IRFU, not the Irish tricolour. For ITV News to show highlights of England, Scotland and Wales but completely ignore Ireland is bizarre, especially with there being Ulster players in the squad.

We are a separate independent country. I would be more insulted if they were reporting on us as if we were a mere region of the UK, like Wales and Scotland.

I know but bbc were actually the opposite, they mentioned the others but focused on Ireland, no highlights of the others.
