10 times better than Ireland /Samoa this one ! Earls looking good. Munster 9-6 up

It could all kick off here yet....

did you see the clip before the match about the 1992 victory against Australia ! Some scrapping there

Aye some great digs thrown!! 

It's all Munster here by the way - they are camped in the Aussie half

Mighty Stuff!!  15 - 6 to the reds!

Earls should play for Ireland and Warwick for Australia on the basis of this. Earls is Irelands best running back at this stage.

Not watching the game but Warwick must be having a stormer if he was to be getting into that Aussie back line! I rate the guy, but surely that is over the top?

[tyroneboi]

What is the story with Warwick? Has he played for Australia before or could he qualify for Ireland through residency?

[CiKe]

U21's and sevens i think

Nagle could be the new supplier of pyjamas to Superman  . Badly needed.

[The Real Laoislad]

Was this a bit like the Irish soccer 'B' team beating Brazil's 'D' team?

[tyroneboi]

Aye that more or less sums it up RLL!

He played 7's for Australia so can't. He does qualify through residency now alright otherwise. Wife is Irish as well.

[Capt Pat]

Warwick could certainly play on that Australia B team.

Fairly certain Australia only select home based players like New Zealand and Wales - think South Africa have relaxed a good bit on this too

I don't think the Welsh ever employed such a policy. Stephen Jones was definitely still getting capped when he was at Montferrand. Ditto Gareth Thomas with Toulouse, Colin Charvis with Newcastle and Rob Howley with Wasps.

Na they didn't in the past but fairly certain they have brought it in in the last couple of seasons
