Connolly wary of wounded Ireland

COACH John Connolly has warned his players that wounded Ireland are in Perth looking for a Wallaby scalp on Saturday to finish the season in style.

And he said that Ireland were cruelly unlucky not to have taken one of the two Tests against New Zealand.

“I thought they played very well. They rattled the All Blacks, and both games turned on a couple of incidents that could have gone either way. It’s clear they have come a long way in terms of progress since the end of last year,” he said.
