‘Wounded’ Wallabies have point to prove

IRELAND have likened the Wallabies to a ‘wounded animal’ heading into the ‘group of death’, at the Rugby World Cup.

The Irish arrived in Sydney early yesterday to prepare for their tough Pool A games with defending champions Australia and Argentina along with lesser lights, Romania and Namibia.

The pool contains three of the top seven ranked teams in world rugby and only two can advance to the quarter-finals.
