Ireland snatch series thriller over Wallabies

24 June, 2018

Ireland beat Australia 20-16 to win the Landsdowne Cup series 2-1 after holding off the Wallabies in a dramatic finish.

Ireland took out the third game of the series in Sydney in a game that went right down to the wire.

The Wallabies were left seething at full time when the TMO refused to award a clear penalty for a deliberate knock-on from an Irish player right at the moment the Wallabies appeared to be on the verge of a famous last-gasp win.

Wallabies captain David Pocock was left incredulous when the referee told him the game was over with Ireland ahead 20-16.

The incredible finish saw the Wallabies desperately attacking in the 81st minute, needing a try to snatch a dramatic win.
