Wallabies ready for onslaught

AUSTRALIA are predicting they will confront a fast and furious new-look Ireland team, based around star Lions’ centre Brian O’Driscoll when they meet in their final pool match in Melbourne on Saturday night.

Australia coach Eddie Jones remained in Adelaide on Sunday to watch Ireland's 16-15 win over Argentina and believes what he saw there will be vastly different to what Ireland will serve up to the Wallabies at the Telstra Dome this weekend.

Ireland will no longer be inhibited or restrict their options. Instead, Jones believes Ireland will be far more expansive in a bid to repeat the Australian agony of 12 months ago, when they defeated the Wallabies 18-9 at Lansdowne Road.
