    Massive turnover there for Australia.

    Aussies were offside at every ruck in that final sequence but great win for them.

    I'll need to re-watch that, as I missed bits, but it strikes me that Ireland can beat that Australia team next week.

    Great win for Australia, Cheika building some depth in the squad. Typical French performance of late, some great moments when the play broke up but struggled with the key facets of the game.

    Foley ended up having to play 10 as Cooper did his ankle in training. Hopefully he'll be knackered next week :)

    I was impressed with the Aussies tbf. All the talk is how poor the Rugby Championship is but they can play.

    Hope its a miserable day. They're far more incisive with ball in hand.

    They looked impressive against Wales at times but also very error prone. The should have put far more tries on them. Scotland ran them very close last week. I'd like to think we're better than Scotland and we're certainly better than Wales were two weeks ago.

    I don't really trust those form lines. They can force the offload at times but the prospect of a makeshift midfield defence against them worries me. Last time they were in Dublin they cut us apart without really dominating the game. They're dangerous and their forwards dealt with Antonio, Picamoles & co very well this evening.

    Will be interesting to see if any of the Australian players have forced themselves into next week's side, Fardy and McMahon certainly put up their hands with their work at the breakdown. I can't see Ireland letting Pocock and co have the same level of dominance again next week.

    Based solely on the AIs and taking into account the various levels of oppositions across the 3 weekends..... I don't think I'd have a single Welsh player in the Lions squad.

    A few of the English papers think Warburton will captain the Lions. Personally I don't think he's playing anywhere near well enough to even get into the 23. Needs a huge 6N. Alun Wyn Jones isn't getting into the test side on current form either

    Given Gatland is coaching I think Warbuton is guaranteed to be captain unless he has a serious bad run of form. It's either him or Hartley and I don't think Hartley would be a good Lions captain.

    Not about the rugby but was anyone else getting really annoyed with the constant flow of people out for pints? 20 mins in and it seemed like half time with the exodus. you really wonder why people go to the games if they spend most of the game out waiting for pints and then out again to piss them away.

    About 1500 people turned up to watch italy training today as a result of the win over the boks.

    This is exactly the sort of thing Italian rugby needs and will knock onto Zebre Treviso too which is ideal.

    If Italy can beat one or two of Wales, Scotland or France it would be optimal (also good for Ireland).

    The players do the heavy lifting and the wins and losses are on their shoulders but well done Conor O'Shea all the same. Good for them all. Delighted.
