Aussie Hansen's try double for Ireland, Wallabies next

Australian Mack Hansen has shown he's in the mood for a crack at his fellow countrymen in Dublin next week after a couple of tries helped Ireland power past Fiji 52-17 at Lansdowne Road.

The Canberra wing, who's qualified to play in green through his Irish mother and who's become a big favourite for their fans with his electric speed and cheery persona, is trying to nail down his spot for next weekend's clash against his compatriots at the same Aviva Stadium.

And though he didn't have an afternoon when everything went right for him, his double in Ireland's eight-try romp over a disorganised and ill-disciplined Fijian side on Saturday will give him plenty of hope he'll be in the side to face Australia in the last match of the Wallabies' British Isles tour next Saturday.
