Match Report

How Brendan Fanning made sense of that, I’m sure I don’t know.

But he did in this cracking report of an utterly bizarre and breathless game.

That’ll be me for the night. Hope you enjoyed it.

And here is Malcolm Marx:

As you can tell by the way that I look it was crazy. Ireland are a quality side. We’re really happy with the way the guys fought and eventually get a win at the Aviva.

We got some good success [in the scrum] but at times we weren’t as successful as we wanted to be. Playing against a quality side is always going to be a tough battle.

The character that they showed was immense. Even with 12 players they kept us out.
