Former Wallabies fullback Matt Burke ponders Ireland's tactics as they prepare to take on Australia in Brisbane in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"I wonder whether the men in green are rubbing their hands at the thought they have a real shot against the Wallabies tomorrow. They would have seen the performance last week against England and thought that the old northern hemisphere bash-and-barge rugby might do the trick in Brisbane. On the back of that, if you can play a little, things just might go your way.
"The critical points of the Wallabies' loss against England, barring the last missed opportunity, is that at this stage of the season the coach commented on the team's enthusiasm. This shouldn't be a factor at all. It should be easy to get yourself up for a game. Perhaps the Wallabies expected to do it easily again."
