keep ball alive freeing it in contact okay it wasn't necessarily off you know loose transition ball which they've gotten a little bit better at but it was still a little bit different to how they've attacked in the past there was obviously that was a big shining this is what they can do when things go right for the rest of the game it looked like they struggled a little bit for that

That flow, that's the phrase they like to use.

Instead, it was a little bit more, right, Australia penalty, kick into the 22, bash away, and maybe a little bit of deception.

The ring rose past Keenan being one very good example of that deception.

But for the most part, it was Australian indiscretion getting them into those positions rather than necessarily the type of attack we saw for that Gibson Park try.

To what extent do you just put that down to first game, travel?

Lots of guys haven't played recently because there's only Leinster out of the provinces that have been playing.

Or to what extent do you think Ireland are still trying to get that and going through a little bit of an attacking transition and haven't quite got it right yet?

I'll continue my conversation with Gerry after the break.

Japan beat Italy on the weekend, which I can't quite make up my mind if that's a surprise result or not.

Again, travel, all that factors.

Italy, hard to read sometimes.

I think we can call it a bit of a surprise result, actually.

Obviously, when it comes to Japan, the Eddie Jones factor is unmissable.

And I'm sure you'll probably get to hear from him at some stage this week.

I'm not sure if he's doing any press with you guys or not, but...

I mean, that's a fascinating game, especially Jeremy Lottman's out.

So it looks like Billy Bowen is going to have to debut.

I don't know what that does for Ireland's scrum.

I don't know the comparative strength weakness.
