Australia's rugby women have been handed a 36-10 hammering by Ireland in Belfast, just a week after their male counterparts suffered a similar chastening loss at the hands of Argentina.
Seven days since the Wallabies were caned 67-27 by Argentina in Santa Fe, it was the turn of the Wallaroos to suffer a thrashing on the road, as Ireland, four places below them in the world rankings, made a nonsense of the standings by running in six tries at Ravenhill Stadium.
