Rugby, Ireland vs Australia

Congratulations to Ireland in the match. I have to say it was absolutely great to watch. I saw the whole match and it was so even for so long. It was so annoying the way until the second half the Ireland couch kept Sexton on. I mean he’s good but not good enough. As soon as O’Gara went on the whole match changed. It was still even but the Australian’s just didn’t have enough time left. But just as we all thought Ireland had the match in the bag Australia came forward and beat their way through the Irish forwards. They had the ball literally on the Irish try line, we all thought Australia were going to score. But at the final second, Tommy Boe went in, got the ball, sprinted the pitch only to be tackled at the end of the Australian 22. Then and there everyone knew Ireland had won seeing as there was only four minutes left.
