Pretty speculative Irish kick drifted in for a behind.

Good over from Glynn there, Ireland are edging away here.

OOOH, great pass from Osborne there.
Ah, it was a push in the back anyway. Brennan NEEDS to score an over, and doesn't.

Quite liking this handpass rule.
Good man Canty. Nice tackle on Brown.
Murphy the traitor! with an over for Australia.

Great over from Murphy.
Burgoyne with a fantastic pass, Montagna scores another over.
Australia's fitness levels are showing...

Interesting now...
Jeesh Burgoyne's the only one who can kick the round ball properly, another fantastic pass. Pendlebury in a good position, but absolutely fudges the kick straight to the Irish defender.
Incredible Australian over from Osbourne.

Osborne with a long ranged over.
We're coming now! 38 - 45
BAH!
Trust Brown to get booked, flattens someone and cops a yellow.
That's our Brown.

Dirty off the ball tackle by Brown. Get off.
Hopefully that's your fitness advantage eradicated!
It was a sheperd, blocking for Harvey...
Commonplace in the AFL, in fact he'd get a standing ovation at one of our games.
Murphy again. This is going to be a tense last 4 minutes.

41-45. Gave away a stupid over.
Pretty abysmal attendance. We fill Croker.

44-45, shit.
GAH! Hate this tackling malarkey.
Poor miss from Bradley there.
Unlucky free kick against the Irish, he had no chance to get rid of it.

30 secs left.
35's a good turn out from Subi, I think the capacity there's 40k.
Will be interesting to see the turn out at the 100k capacity G.
34 aussie tackles to 9 irish. Not good.
COME ON!
Good tackle from Selwood, wins the ball for Australia... Last chance here, hopeless kick to noone.
That's the game surely.

The mark discrepency was like that in Irelands favor at half time.
Should've been blown up at that dead ball.
PENDLEBURY TOO SHORT..................... Marked by keeper. Surely the last bit of play.
Game over. 44-45
Nice one cesc.
BAH!
Ireland win in a thriller! 44 - 45
Couldn't ask for a better game than that. Nice, hard and fair!
Great win for Ireland.

Lucky Irish. Aussies should win the series next week.
The first and second halves were mirrors of each other.
Ireland get the break away, and we claw back due to superior fitness. I don't know if you guys have ever played AFL before, but trust me when I say - when you cop a hit, get up again, lay a tackle, get up and have to chase tail you are completely farqed unless you've got super super fitness.

Haha, great interview by Kennelly there with one of his best mates (didn't catch his name).
Great stuff all round.

At the end of the day, our brickies and accountants were more than a match for you overpaid prima-donnas!
Good point made by RTE pundits - the pressure was on today to play a clean game, we'll see more Brown-esque moments next week. Not sure our lads can match that.
