I got me tickets for the 2nd game on saturday! Gonna be a good one!
Although, I did think the first game lacked any sort of physicality. I thought it was very soft, and pretty slow. Needs someone like Barry Hall to come in and give it a bit of an edge!
Boo!! Was a close one. That last quarter should've seen Ireland winning it. We came within 3 points of levelling, with 10 minutes to go, but then the Aussies got a couple of 3 pointers and got the win. Final score was: Oz 102 - 92 Ireland
Ye the games are scored on aggregate. 47-40 in the first game, 55-52 in the 2nd game. We definitely COULD have won, only we missed a few 3 pointers and only got 1 pointers.
I thought the Aussies kicking accuracy was much better this year over previous years, when it was ridiculously bad! Even more so for professionals. While Ireland were missing even some behinds, which is ridiculous since we only play with the 1 "H shaped"goal!
That last quarter was insane though! There was 61,000 people there and every one of them was screaming the Irish on. Brilliant atmosphere!
