Wallaby winger Digby Ioane suffered a fractured thumb against Italy and will miss the next few matches. He has not been replaced in the squad, as Robbie Deans understands that the break will heal in time for Ioane to play a role later in the tournament. It was a fairly simple task redrawing the team, though. James O'Connor moves up from the reserves and Drew Mitchell goes onto the bench. Otherwise, the same team that played Italy has been named again.Jerry Flannery, who was named on the bench for this match, tore a calf at training and his World Cup is probably over. Damien Varley is on his way to New Zealand and if he joins the team in a full-time capacity, Flannery has to leave. Ireland made four changes from the team that played USA, and with Cian Healy and Sean O'Brien fit again two of them were always going to happen. There was no great shock at the other two, where first-team regulars have been reinstated at halfback and fullback.
Australia vs IrelandFORM:Australia:2011 RWC:Beat Italy 32-6
Ireland:2011 RWC:Beat USA 22-10
While neither side would have been thrilled with their 80-minute performance, Australia had rather more to be happy about last weekend. It took a while before the Wallabies could break away from a close-quarter battle with the Italian forwards but when it happened they piled on four tries in short order. In that quarter of an hour they looked every inch the contender and, assuming they are working into the tournament, are likely to be a difficult opponent from here on.Ireland had to work hard to overcome spirited USA resistance at New Plymouth, although the result was never really in doubt. Ireland suffered through their own errors, many of which allowed the USA to wriggle off defensive hooks, but also made little headway against some aggressive midfield defence. The forwards impressed, winning set piece ball in controlled fashion, and did a lot of damage with prolonged and well organised drives. Still, improvement is needed for this match.
Australia vs Ireland Preview
It is telling that the zenith of Ireland's involvement in the Rugby World Cup is a narrow defeat to their opponents in Auckland this weekend, Australia. For the most part, the Irish have known nothing other than unmitigated failure and desperate disappointment on the game's grandest stage. They have a chance to change that this weekend. The only problem is that their chances of doing so appear slim.If the last-gasp 19-18 defeat by the Wallabies in Dublin in the quarter-finals of the 1991 World Cup remains the highlight of Ireland's tournament history, then their nadir came in France four years ago when they went into the tournament tipped up as 'dark horses' only to bow out at the pool stages after losses to France and Argentina and embarrassingly hard-earned wins over Namibia and Georgia. Those were dark days for the men from the Emerald Isle but their Grand Slam success in the 2009 Six Nations seemed to herald a new dawn for Irish rugby.However, two years on and Ireland seem in real danger of underwhelming once more, having arrived in New Zealand on the back of four successive defeats and then opening their campaign with an uninspiring 22-10 victory over the USA.The players are insisting, though, that they remain capable of producing the form which saw them go undefeated for all of 2009. That may very well be true - though there has been scant evidence of late to support such a claim - but in Australia they are running into a side very much on the up.The Wallabies clinched the Tri-Nations with a stirring victory over the No.1 ranked All Blacks before then laying claim to the title of the most exciting and dynamic side in world rugby at the moment by sweeping Italy aside with a thrilling second-half display in their tournament opener in North Shore City on Sunday. It was a performance which underlined both the Wallabies' growing maturity and the enormity of the task ahead of an Ireland side desperate to finally make their mark on the World C up.Australia - Player to Watch: Adam Ashley-Cooper described Brian O'Driscoll as a "freak" (in the nicest possible sense), admitting that he was instructed to study the Ireland captain closely and learn as much as possible about the art of back-line play. Ashley-Cooper certainly appears to have taken that advice on board because he has been in fine form of late and is likely to cause Ireland all sorts of problems on Saturday.Australia - Team News: Australia head coach Robbie Deans has made just one change to the side which opened with a win over the Azzurri, with James O'Connor coming into the back-three for Digby Ioane, who fractured a thumb during the game against the Italians. O'Connor's promotion to the starting line-up creates a space on the bench for Drew Mitchell.Ireland - Player to Watch: Jonathan Sexton is a man under pressure on account of his poor goal-kicking display in New Plymouth and his failure to get his back-line going. With veteran fly-half Ronan O'Gara wa iting in the wings, Sexton needs to deliver a big performance in the biggest game of his international career.Ireland - Team News: Rob Kearney, Cian Healy and Sean O'Brien all return after sitting out the win over the Eagles as they continued their respective recoveries from minor injuries. Kearney missed the game with a groin stream but he has been passed fit to reclaim the fullback berth from Geordan Murphy, who is struggling with a hamstring problem and has dropped out of the squad altogether. Healy slots back in at loose-head for Tom Court after recovering from the eye injury which delayed his arrival in New Zealand, while Sean O'Brien, who strained knee ligaments in last month's warm-up loss at home to France, returns to the back-row at the expense of Denis Leamy. The only other change to the side which defeated the Eagles 22-10 in New Plymouth comes at scrum-half, with Conor Murray making way for Eoin Reddan
Australia vs Ireland Head To Head
Ireland will go into their decisive Pool C clash in Auckland striving for their first victory over the Wallabies at a Rugby World Cup.Australia have often proved Ireland's nemesis in the tournament having beaten Ireland in all four encounters in the global showpiece. Twice Ireland have come within a point of them. In 1991 Ireland lost 19-18 in the quarter-finals as Australia, boosted by two tries from David Campese and one from Michael Lynagh in that game, went on to win the tournament with victory over England at Twickenham in the final. Twelve years later Australia, on home turf, edged a 17-16 victory in Melbourne with George Smith crossing for the Wallabies and Brian O'Driscoll touching for the Irish.A quarter-final exit to Australia was also Ireland's fate in the inaugral Rugby World Cup in 1987, losing 33-15 in Sydney, with winger Matthew Burke scoring two tries. Australia In 1999 it was another more comfortable victory in the pool stages for Australia as they ran out 23-3. Tries from Ben Tune and Tim Horan sealed the victory for Australia as they progressed to a quarter-final victroy over Wales and ultimately a triumph over France in the final.
The two sides are slated to meet once again at Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand.
