Ireland primed for a final flurry

THE last throw of the dice for Ireland to prove they’re up there with the big boys.

Tomorrow night’s Test against Australia is about winning and proving that Irish rugby has come a long way in a short space of time.

When Ireland embarked on this tour coach Eddie O’Sullivan made it clear he would not be happy with anything other than one win from three games. He’s got nothing out of the first two, even though Ireland were horribly unlucky not to get at least one result against the Kiwis, so it’s all or nothing in Perth.
