Murray Kinsella Reports from the Aviva Stadium IRELAND HEAD COACH Andy Farrell said he was proud of his players after Ireland ’s 22-19 win over Joe Schmidt’s Australia .But Ireland came from behind twice in the second half to edge a victory over the Wallabies, with replacement hooker Gus McCarthy scoring the winning try in the 73rd minute.
“He led the way with the honesty as well. We were feeling sorry for ourselves a little bit because I understand it’s human nature, and we had enough possession and territory to win the game twice over in the first half and we spilt enough ball and made enough errors in the first half to lose two matches as well.
Cian Healy became Ireland’s record caps holder, 21-year-old McCarthy scored the key try, while Tom O’Toole, Iain Henderson, Peter O’Mahony, Garry Ringrose, and halfbacks Craig Casey and Jack Crowley all contributed. “I suppose there’s a little bit of you’ve nothing to lose when you’re behind and the performance isn’t as good as it should be but they didn’t just try to fit in, they tried to add in many departments but mainly with the energy and the grunt.”
Crowley was in the bench role for Ireland, coming on to help Farrell’s men home, with the Ireland head coach happy with both of his out-halves.“I thought Sam had some lovely stuff. He made some errors, some kicks that weren’t perfect.
