Australia too strong for Ireland
What did you make of the second leg of the International Rules this morning?
Could we take anything out of the game that might benefit the game here - should the GAA re-visit the two refereees experiment that was tried previously and promptly abandoned?
To the game, Australia produced a strong final quarter and won the game by 53-50 got an overall 63-50 victory in front of 30,116 spectators.
Ireland did well in the opening two quafters and were ahead by 30-17 (30-27) at half-time for a three-point overall lead at that stage.
Ireland lost their way a bit in the third-quarter and although they were ahead by 41- 34 at the end of the third-quarter they trailed overall by three points which represented a six-point turnaround in the third-quarter and Australia upped the tempo again in the final quarter.
