    Standar missed the inside line
    Just not quick enough off mark. Leavy could have reacted quicker too.

    Great line but Leavy and Standar were caught cold.

    That was really good. Looked comfortable and making ground solidly. Clear outs were accurate and aggressive.

    Sexton just more confident and varies things nicely.

    As dissapointing as the try was, good response here, very quick moves.

    Cheika will be mad at 11 for that. Nonsense tackle. Deserves a yellow.

    I think yellow is fair there.

    Ireland need to capitalise.

    For a moment I was worried it would be more.

    Daft tackle and not needed at all. He's lucky Kearney managed to get the elbow down instead of his head.

    Conway did so well there. Good vision from Murray but the pass left Conway needing a great finish.

    Murray has the smarts. Conway is so good at getting into the corner.

    Sexton! You gem!

    Cheika will be absolutely fuming. Totally unnecessary and utterly moronic. Great response for Ireland.

    Sexton had his swagger going there after the kick. Confidence is up.

    Has to be a rule problem when the ability of the wronged party to save themselves dictates the sanction. The action was a lifting beyond the horizontal and a driving of the upper body towards the turf, the outcome a lottery.

    That action, for me, should be red every day and the fact it isnt leaves the door open to it happening more often.

    Great accuracy from Ireland.

    What a carry by Ryan there.

    Nice kick, that Aussie line is jst crying out for that time of kick in behind. Keep them turning backwards.
