Australia's Burke: We were outplayed by Ireland

As a rather distasteful war of words continues between former Australian international Tim Horan and the Irish management in the wake of Ireland’s 15-6 triumph over the Wallabies, his fellow countryman Matt Burke has been more magnanimous in defeat.

Burke, who racked up 878 international points over an 11-year career with Australia, admitted the better team won last Saturday and credited the Irish for their spirited performance.
