Match comment - Ireland v Australia

Maori Television commentators Gavin Hastings, Mark Ella and Te Arahi Maipi on Ireland's win over Australia 15-6 at Eden Park last night.


Gavin Hastings
"It was quite unbelievable and your heart goes out to the Irish men who just gave it their all for this game. I come from the northern hemisphere and we don't have players with the sublime skills of a Quade Cooper or a Kurtley Beal but what they have the Irish is absolute heart, commitment and pride and passion and all those characteristics came to the fore."

Mark Ella
"I don't think Australia should ever play at Eden Park ever again, the last time we won there was in 1986! We can probably still make it to the final it's going to obviously be much harder but we've got to learn to win at Eden Park."

Te Arahi Maipi
"This is what World Cup rugby is all about. Australia got taught a lesson and it's going to have major ramifications on the rest of the tournament."
