Totally amazing, they got the start right, the superb turnovers from holding the player up in the tackle, you could see their confidence growing throughout, the Ulster rugby players were amazing and the amount of people in clubs and so on across Ulster would have been amazing as they watched. We’ve been waiting for this great side to really get it together and we can’t help feeling that Kidney may have timed it along with the senior players to peak just at the right time. <\/p>\n

Ireland smothered them. The basics of scrum, lineout, defensive line hardly gave the Aussies room for anything. To a man superb!<\/p>\n

This of course sets them up moving forward.<\/p>\n

Amazing!<\/p>\n
