Aussie coach: 'We needed a rocket put up us'

Australian coach Garry Lyon praised his side's show of courage as they came back from the dead to beat Ireland 65-58 at Croke Park.

Australia was rocked by a terrorist attack on Bali ahead of the International Rules opener which upset players and management and Lyon said: "It all comes down to character. We were down by 19 points at the break but we weren't playing that badly.
