Ireland vs. Australia on TV
Ireland play their 2nd Rugby World Cup 2011 game against Australia this Saturday in the Rotorua stadium. After the mediocre first performance against the USA last week coach Declan Kidney will have to re-jig the team and motivate the players once more to take on Australia. This game is a crucial one, as the looser of the game is likely to come 2nd in Pool C. And looking further into the draw to see who the winner and 2nd place of Pool C would play, it’s clear that if Ireland come 2nd in our group and New Zealand (predictively) come first in Pool A, then in will be an Ireland vs. New Zealand. Some indepth analysis of the game is available from Kurt on the RTE sports site.
