    They were -9 until Ireland's performance today. I wouldn't jump the gun because the last 2 times they've played (albeit both over a year ago) Australia won by 7 and they drew. Also consider that you have the likes of SOB to come in and a few other players will be different from today e.g. can't see Murray starting SH. Australia weren't too hot against Italy either. I'd say a few of them had one eye on Australia tbh. I think it will be closer than people expect but if I was forced to have a bet based on what we've seen you'd have to go for Australia -11.

    Definitely not a cert IMO but I would be going with Aus -11 (i wont be betting on it though :D). I think that Ireland team is over-rated because with the exception of Heaslip and SOB none of them are on form and on that basis I'd be going Aus -11.

    Aftertime : I had USA +32 @ evens today ;)

    Have been watching the market for the last week and line hasn't moved from -11, definitely no -9 anyway! I don't think bookies have reacted to our poor start, albeit aussies weren't amazing. IMO line should be -13/-14.

    Oz should cover the minus 11 as this looks like 2007 all over again. Ireland are just so slow and methodical with no creativity and will be lucky to make it out of the group.

    Was -9 as well a while ago, maybe it went to -11 during the international warmups I hadn't checked in a while.
