Ireland v Australia, Rules Test 1, Breffni Park, Saturday 19 October 2013

[fearglasmor]

pat spillane used to say it best, just sent out McGilligan to clock the opposition, the aussies never wanted to both with him, werent too fussed dealing with the grimleys back round 1990 either, they are plenty of gaelic footballers who can look after themselves, but they are footballers not boxers. If the macho Aussies were so great at boxing, they have a decent heavyweight, or decent fighters at any level in real boxing giving the population, Ireland produce plenty of quality boxers, just never had  a serious heavy weight puglist. Any time i see Ireland play the aussies in rugby am convinced our team would kick the shit out of them if it came down to it

Yeah....  and our da's would bate the crap out of their da's.................

Is there anybody out there?

[Line Ball]

Did Walsh put that last free wide from 21 yards out, now not a Gaelic wide but an Compromise Rules wide which gives him an extra 10 yards?  Brutal.

I thought there would be a bit of an edge to the game but obviously the 'handbags' before the game was carefully orchestrated to get the crowd going but nothing more.

There's actually a nice pace to this game albeit Ireland seem to be streets ahead.

The Aussies can't handle Murphy.

The wee bit of "fighting" was very like the pretend fights they have in WWF.

Crowds haven't come as hoped for.

They should have had the games on a Sunday afternoon.

Actually cant believe how out of their depth the Australians look here, the round ball makes such a big difference between the 2 teams
