Rumours seem to suggest Payne is fit SOB is out.
VDF to 7 and POM to 20.

Not a bad combo. VDF has been superb this November.

Such a shame if true. Was really looking forward to SOB and Stander v Hooper and Pocock, but especially SOB v Pocock.

Why keep rushing him back?...

Why keep rushing him back?...

To be fair they were quite slow bringing O'Brien back with Leinster and he's been managed very well with regards game time since. I'm hoping that the fact he clearly just missed out on fitness for today is a sign it's just a minor setback.

 

[munstermuffin]

Just yo say it may be wrong and he may play. Nothing official yet

 

[Groundhog]

Either way the Wallabies won't know which player to expect come kick off at this stage, although VDF seems to be adding a lot of SOB-like qualities to his game this season. Seriously well rounded back row player.

 

[corny]

Don't want O'Brien playing if there's even a slight doubt about fitness. Rushed him back the last time and he paid for it.

 

[corny]

Confirmed SOB out. Shame, but no point pushing him just back from injury and after last weeks war.

Big chance for JVDF.

Has Best reached 100 caps for Ireland?

School boy stuff from Genia, knocking it on in your own breakdown, someone needs to remind him this is a test match

 

[profitius]

Have to start taking the 3 points.b

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Is that a gouge?

 

[munstermuffin]

Could be a red

 

[TRF_Olyy]

A card for that?
For all their whinging about the all blacks the Irish get a ridiculous amount of home town calls

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Glad that's only a yellow. Dont really want to see reds unless really necessary.

Nice finish from Henderson.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Great try Ireland and Henderson.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Ireland too good to be given a man advantage. Nice from Earls who seems a little maligned in these parts. Ireland need to get this out to at least 13 points while Australia are a man down. Then they'll be in the driving seat.

I agree on it not serious but basing it on previous events. Like I'd call it worst than Earls vs Glasgow. But neither are red
