But at the end, the scoreboard read 46-19 to Ireland, with six tries scored and no lineouts lost. A lot of things went right. The first penalty of the second half went their way after Doris got in over the ball like a limpet. And the only yellow card of the night went Australia’s way with nine minutes left on the clock, sealing the result. They needed a get-right game and they got what they were looking for.
