O'Driscoll backs Ireland to upset Australia

Ireland captain Brian O’Driscoll believes his side has the ability to beat Australia at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night but realises history will be against them as they chase their first win of the tour.

Ireland have not won a game on Australian soil since 1979 and have not tasted victory since beating Wales in March and will be facing a fired-up Australia side looking for redemption after losing by a solitary point to England at the weekend.
