I didn't, I didn't think it was unthinkable that Ireland could, could lose.
Um,
And you've covered some of it off already, like the line-out didn't function for large parts of the game.
The scrum was under pressure, in particular in that second half.
The aerial contest in the first half really gave the Australian team access into the game, which, full credit to them, they capitalised on.
And you could say that the first two Australian tries, the access point comes from winning the aerial contest or from poor kicking from Ireland.
Yeah.
I thought our kicking out of hand was quite mixed.
That's separate to the line kicking from Prendergast, which I thought was exceptional on the day and is a very underrated skill, especially when your team is coming from behind and there's pressure on every touchline kick.
That was a real positive from him.
And then the physical contest.
I felt like we were losing the physical contest, in particular in the first half.
That's with our carry game, where I felt like they were getting more impact tackles on us.
And then on the flip side, I felt they were breaking more tackles, getting more offloads.
And a lot of the stats will show that.
But the result that they showed... And Ireland did really get on top in that final 20 minutes.
And when you see a team...
repeatedly infringe as Australia were doing.
That is down to pressure.
You simply can't sustain that pressure that you're under and you have to keep infringing whether it's at the breakdown, coming offside and that was down to Ireland's really high quality play and they'll take a huge amount from that.
