0:00:00 > 0:00:10against Samoa. Oops! Are we looking at a little dump tackle?

0:00:10 > 0:00:13REFEREE: It wasn't him, mate. That is an overreaction by Peter

0:00:13 > 0:00:18O'Mahony. The referee had seen it.

0:00:18 > 0:00:28Jeff Warren called into action again.

0:00:28 > 0:00:33REFEREE: Jeff, can we please have a TMO check?

0:00:33 > 0:00:46The touch judge, the door Mahoney being picked up, it is a two-man

0:00:46 > 0:00:51tackle. It is the two centres, Toomua and the VTEC Roadrunner --

0:00:51 > 0:00:58Tevita Kuridrani between them, especially the second.

0:00:58 > 0:01:07What I am seeing, the player in green, he has lifted the player up

0:01:07 > 0:01:15and not put him down safely on his neck. Is that correct? That is

0:01:15 > 0:01:18exactly correct. It is Tevita Kuridrani who is being

0:01:18 > 0:01:22called over. REFEREE: That is an unacceptable

0:01:22 > 0:01:31tackle, it is dangerous. It is a red card for Kuridrani.

0:01:31 > 0:01:39Unacceptable, sent off. That gives Australia a couple of

0:01:39 > 0:01:45problems, whether Ireland will be able to make the most of it. Not

0:01:45 > 0:01:46sure that it was -- but it was a straight red card, you cannot argue

0:01:46 > 0:02:04with that. Number 24 Australia, Liam Gill. It

0:02:04 > 0:02:08will not get any slower in the back row with the introduction of Liam

0:02:08 > 0:02:28Gill. Mike Hooper comes off, two tries to his name.

0:02:28 > 0:02:37Luke Marshall, straight through! Now he needs support.

0:02:37 > 0:02:47Ireland have a rear foray into the Australian 22. Sean Cronin drives

0:02:47 > 0:02:56on. Putt a rare foray. -- a rare foray. Penalty advantage to Ireland.

0:02:56 > 0:03:03Offside, no drive. Australia have been very adept at shutting down the

0:03:03 > 0:03:11opportunity by whatever means. Peter O'Mahony, tackled fairly this

0:03:11 > 0:03:20time. That is a fine tackle on Brian

0:03:20 > 0:03:38O'Driscoll by Folau. Luke Marshall plays scrum-half.

0:03:38 > 0:03:47Ireland will have the put-in at the scrum. We have an injury. Nothing

0:03:47 > 0:03:49wrong with Jack McGrath, but just at the bottom, Rob Kearney is down.

0:03:49 > 0:04:11This doesn't look good. It looks like ribs or something.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16It is a blow in the ribs. REFEREE: OK.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20Again, Ireland really not troubling this defence, all they have to do is

0:04:20 > 0:04:27take it into contact and Australia able to cover up.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Jack McGrath got the breakaway but nobody running on his shoulder on

0:04:30 > 0:04:35the support lines to keep the movement going. Gerry mentioned,

0:04:35 > 0:04:39when Ireland have the line breaks, they are not getting men close in

0:04:39 > 0:04:44support. That is right, and that is something

0:04:44 > 0:04:47that New Zealand have been on top of the game with, any time someone

0:04:47 > 0:04:52breaks the line there is always somebody there. Ireland really have

0:04:52 > 0:05:00not been able to do that today. Rob Kearney is going off and there

0:05:00 > 0:05:02is a last replacement, Robbie Henshaw comes back on. He added some

0:05:02 > 0:05:12pace in the first half. That is a couple of injury worries

0:05:12 > 0:05:16going into next week's test against New Zealand. Kearney looking

0:05:16 > 0:05:22doubtful, Johnny Sexton possibly, as well.

0:05:22 > 0:05:32Conor Murray rolls it in. Again, Ireland suffer at the scrum. And the

0:05:32 > 0:05:41penalty goes against them. They have been outclassed in just about every

0:05:41 > 0:05:45department today. On that occasion, Jack McGrath standing up. We could

0:05:45 > 0:05:51not see it because it was on the loose-head side.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53But Australia will be deleted with the work they have put into the

0:05:53 > 0:05:59scrum. They have continued their improvement over the last couple of

0:05:59 > 0:06:13months. -- United. Ireland have had a real wake-up call.

0:06:13 > 0:06:23There is time aplenty for Australia to finish with a flurry here. Not

0:06:23 > 0:06:30straight to Simmons. That is a rare mistake by the Australian forwards.

0:06:30 > 0:06:38Plenty of vigour amongst their new batch of replacements. But this game

0:06:38 > 0:06:45has been over for a good part of 15 minutes. And with all these

0:06:45 > 0:06:50substitutions and the changes, it's really just playing out time. All

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Ireland have two game is a bit more respectability on the scoreboard but

0:06:53 > 0:06:59can they put it together with the changes which have been made, and

0:06:59 > 0:07:00the mood and undoubted knocked their confidence from this week

0:07:00 > 0:07:27performance so far? Murray with the ball in his hands.

0:07:27 > 0:07:32But time has gone on for Ireland. And, game, their scrummage is

0:07:32 > 0:07:40rocking and rolling. It's a real mess -- and, again, .

0:07:40 > 0:08:22Ireland's scrum holds out this time for Murray to feed Madigan. Brian

0:08:22 > 0:08:30O'Driscoll works of Madigan. Inside from Luke Marshall. Bowe.

0:08:30 > 0:08:41Australia trying their best. Ireland go to ground. It comes to nothing.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44We ought to have a happier sound. Justin Harrison, you must be very

0:08:44 > 0:08:52pleased with this? Reasonably pleased. Don't overdo it! Australia

0:08:52 > 0:08:56have controlled the breakdown very well. The pace of the game has been

0:08:56 > 0:09:00dictated by the back row. Ireland are running out of ideas because

0:09:00 > 0:09:07their defence is getting off the line. We are forcing decisions for

0:09:07 > 0:09:18them. A bit of pinball at the line-out. Scrum advantage.

0:09:18 > 0:09:23Again, this comes to nothing. Henshaw loses the ball. Back to

0:09:23 > 0:09:36Moore. Sitaleki Timani hot in dispute.

0:09:36 > 0:09:58McFadden had to be alert there and did very well.

0:09:58 > 0:10:07Is there something at the end of a fairly nasty afternoon for Ireland?

0:10:07 > 0:10:31Ireland still have possession. Brian O'Driscoll. It's going to be tried.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35-- a try. A difficult game for Ireland.

0:10:35 > 0:10:50It came far too late. A knock-on. Was there a knock-on at the back of

0:10:50 > 0:11:02the ruck? We won't assume that this is a try, then. A potential knock-on

0:11:02 > 0:11:05here. Did that go forward? Murray is knocked off the ball. This is a

0:11:05 > 0:11:11better angle. Yes, unfortunately, that is a knock-on.

0:11:11 > 0:11:23Be a penalty, to be honest. It was a knock-on.

0:11:23 > 0:11:31Your final thoughts? If you can bear to. Really disappointing evening.

0:11:31 > 0:11:37Joe Schmidt is serious because the accuracy attitude, I can only assume

0:11:37 > 0:11:40that there is an air of complacency and over expectation, a lack of

0:11:40 > 0:11:44respect for this developing Australian side. To be honest, they

0:11:44 > 0:11:49had taken their chances clinically and Ireland have got a wake-up call

0:11:49 > 0:11:54to light. They have got a lot of work to do to regain their position.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58-- tonight. This is a disappointing evening and a disappointing start

0:11:58 > 0:12:03for Joe Schmidt but I don't think he can blame himself. It's down to the

0:12:03 > 0:12:08players will stop and the attitude they had taken onto this page. One

0:12:08 > 0:12:13final scrum. We thought it was a pressure point for Australia. This

0:12:13 > 0:12:16one looks as comfortable as all of those which are gone before. They

0:12:16 > 0:12:28march forward one last time up front. And get themselves a penalty.

0:12:28 > 0:12:36They can take their time. All the players start the celebrations. They

0:12:36 > 0:12:42know this is the job very well done. One blast into touch, it will be a

0:12:42 > 0:12:46thumping away win for the Wallabies. Macro final

0:12:46 > 0:13:0215-32. A big step forward for Australia. For Joe Schmidt, it will

0:13:02 > 0:13:05be a big week for New Zealand next week, going back to the drawing

0:13:05 > 0:13:11board. Incredibly disappointing for Ireland, I would say. He will wonder

0:13:11 > 0:13:15what is got themselves into because the attitude of Ireland was very

0:13:15 > 0:13:20bad. Bad in defence, attack, scrum time, and I think Australia took

0:13:20 > 0:13:28every chance, every opportunity they had. I think they played incredibly

0:13:28 > 0:13:33well. Ireland have to be absolutely disappointed. The attention to

0:13:33 > 0:13:37detail, which is what Joe Schmidt calls for, was awful. It's never go

0:13:37 > 0:13:44to maintain a tactic when you change a halfback. Changing two, and then

0:13:44 > 0:13:47halfway through the game, Madigan comes on. Naturally attacking

0:13:47 > 0:13:53player. They never looked like scoring too many. Briefly, momentum

0:13:53 > 0:13:56for Australia going to Scotland, they will take great confidence from

0:13:56 > 0:14:01that result. Absolutely, huge confidence. The combination is

0:14:01 > 0:14:07looking good in the backline, the forwards are getting confident. The

0:14:07 > 0:14:10back row is outperforming any other back row now so next week will be

0:14:10 > 0:14:16interesting. They will have to increase their performance and limit

0:14:16 > 0:14:20their penalties. There was too many. Scotland will be licking their lips

0:14:20 > 0:14:23to take advantage of that next week. We do have more rugby coming up,

0:14:23 > 0:14:29which is why we are going off there right now. The Rugby league World

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Cup quarterfinal with England and France. You can go to the website

0:14:32 > 0:14:37for more reaction from this game. New Zealand are next for Ireland.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40England's rugby league, their test is France. The World Cup

0:14:40 > 0:14:40quarterfinal. See you
