And had Australia got that, you know, capitalised on one more of those line breaks, and you could hear that from Joe Schmidt post-game, he was really frustrated that they didn't capitalise more.
He felt that they really dominated the Irish defence, and they did expose it.
But yeah, and then it's just the momentum swung.
And that's what happens when you have two top quality teams playing against each other.
You're always going to have your purple patch and full credit to Ireland, they managed to get over the line.
They did attack well.
The best I've seen them attack since Joe has taken over as coach.
Part of the issue at Ireland was we weren't showing really aggressive line speed.
We were caught in the middle.
So when you're getting off the line and you're missing a tackle, but it's not way ahead of where the gain line is or the tackle line is, you've no one really there to save it.
And then we were also jumping out and biting in
And then that was resulting in the Australians tipping the ball on.
And it was genuine one-on-one opportunities that they had into the next Irish defender.
Genuine one-on-one opportunities for the likes of Iketau, Suli, Valentini.
That means you're getting your hands free.
You're dominating that contact.
That then has a real knock-on effect.
The best case scenario is it's an offload into a line break.
But if it's footwork in behind and then the Irish defence can't get set, it's then quick ruck ball and then suddenly the edges are open.
It's much easier to get soft edges.
