- Australia were defeated by Ireland in both tests by an overall amount of 65 points over the two tests. Many brawls and fights occurred during the 3rd Term.
-------------------------------------------------
NO CHANCE of winning the International Rules series, Australia tried to win the fight in an ugly 1.13.5 (50) to 0.7.8 (29) loss to Ireland.
Needing to win by 45 points to claim the series trophy after their opening game capitulation last week, Australia opted to play the aggression card - only to be met by a lot of yellow ones.
At one stage it appeared a game of International Rules had broken out at a scuffle as Australia racked up more yellow cards in the third term (three) than they scored points (one).
In all, a total of six players received the yellow vest on the way to the sin bin - including five in a spiteful third term alone.
Somehow Australian captain Brad Green stayed on the field after being involved in a series of altercations, including one before the game started.
Australia's physical approach appeared to have early results when they banged in the opening two three-point "overs" via Green and Mitch Robinson.
But from there Robinson and Green turned more heads in the amount of scuffles they were involved in as Ireland kicked into another gear.
Ireland led at the first break by just four points but extended the buffer to 1.8.4 (34) to 0.6.5 (23) by halftime before all hell broke loose in the third.
At one stage an all-in brawl threatened to erupt as Irish players reacted angrily to late shots by Australians that left Joe McMahon in a crumpled heap.
When the dust settled Australia's Angus Monfries, Mark Nicoski, Robbie Gray were all yellow-carded while Ireland's Finian Hanley and vice-captain Ciaran McKeever were also given their marching orders.
Ireland's Michael Murphy had been sin binned late in the second term.
The bully tactics spectacularly backfired for the hosts who managed just six points in the second half.
Indeed when Ben McGlynn potted over an "over" late in the last term, it marked the first three-pointer by Australia in 25 minutes.
The difference in skill level between the teams was summed up by Leighton Glynn's superb goal for Ireland in the second term.
Glynn cheekily chipped to himself, rounded goalkeeper Matt Suckling and soccered through the only goal of the match.
Ireland avenged their 0-2 series loss last year in spectacular style, winning not only the trophy but also with a 65-point superior aggregate.
For Ireland, Tommy Walsh and Steven McDonnell kicked three overs while Australia's Zac Smith also kicked three.
Full-time scores:
IRELAND 0.3.3 1.8.4 1.10.5 1.13.5 (50)
AUSTRALIA 0.2.2 0.6.5 0.6.6 0.7.8 (29)

Commentator: we didn't come her to see this
Me: I DID
“Ireland suited by the defensive game” in other words; we’re professionals but we’re still not able to compete, so let’s think of an excuse to justify it!!
it's not really a sport in aus, there are no league points invovled...so why not smack a few.
S&C is now a major part of the GAA and players are bigger and stronger. Interesting to see future contests with 9-5 pros who are probably still streets ahead in this facet of training . The biff IMO is just a distraction and has been diluted from GAA. I think the same may be relatively true for the AFL. Better when both teams want to win, speed and skill is on show, and the hits are hard but fair. The GAA game always seems to improve from competing with AFL players and coaches. Long may it continue.
Most of the biff is gone from the Aussie game now, but the AFL always finds new ways to make officiating as ridiculous as possible. Contact to the head and the long term effects of that are a fairly hot topic in the game atm. It's coming back to bite via lawsuits.
Its steven mcdonell
they beat us because its a sport they always play, australians play AFL with a football thats not round it makes a BIG difference
You'd expect the aussises to be a bit better with such a big country they have.
That commentator quatemain is a toaster
if you think that you have never watched a game of gaelic football.This has no relation to either game
Maybe the spectators didn't go to watch that, but I came to youtube to watch it
I don't know if I would agree with that. The round ball is an advantage to Ireland, but there are tackles in this game that are not allowed in Gaelic, its more physical. Plus the game is longer than the Irish game, the Aussies are fitter and full-time professional sportsmen while the Irish are amateur.
Taint, 'professional' simply means these guys get paid enough money that they don't need to hold down a regular job. They don't obsessively train every day. They train enough to get through a game of approximately 120 minutes. Having watched many of these International Rules games there is no doubt the high skill level with the round ball favours the Irish and so does the use of the ball near goals. If the best Irish Gaelic players played the best AFL players with the oval ball on an AFL sized ground the Irish would be thrashed.
KRW1612 If you're skilled an handling an egg ball then you'll be equally skilled with a round one. All it does is even things up. The Irish win because they're smaller and faster, whilst AFL is like the middle ground between Rugby and GAA Football.
@3014luke I think he was more disgusted that an amateur Irish team was handing their professional Aussie counterparts a lesson. Ye're a very proud sporting race, and have every right to be, but when it comes to Aussie commentators, always seen through gold tinted glasses. Rarely do we get to enjoy it though, however it is oh so sweet when we do, e.g Ire V Wallabys in world cup. (24 years in the making).
Maybe so. But the AFL players are professionals. The Irish are amatures, teachers, farmers etc....have to square it somehow.
"we did not come here to watch this rubbish" 1:20 - 1:25
LOL well... I did :P
@3014luke I dont think anyone could of put that better! Fair play to ye.
well that year dublin won the all ireland and only 1 dublin player on that team the goalkeeper
Be warey of the Rugby league Trolls. They are the only ones who use the word "Gay FL" and will seek to bag out anything to do with AFL.
Facts. 👌
Those poor souls have honestly nothing better to do with their time than to bag out the best sport in the world. Deep down, they are insecure and scared of us. Because they know that our game is much bigger and better.
If you can't beat um, beat um!
i wonder if the aussies will actually pick a good side for once
Cant take there beatn!!cmon irish
irish skill levels 2 good for oz es they need 2 bring over a few more irish players show em a thing or 2
It's the main reason they canned it because of the fights over the years.
we played with a 3rd tier squad for fuck sake.
Not to point out the obvious here but GAA football players go to the AFL all the time for professional contracts. This is a game they learn when they get there, the aussie's are playing it all their lives, makes a few comments from the aussies below a bit strange!!
We did not come here to watch this rubbish the commentator said but most came for the fights and were entertained
lol at the ref losing it :D
be very careful before you say anything about chambo (ray chamberlain), he was my high school PE teacher...
lol quartermain is the biggest clown. had the pleasure of meeting him.
golf and boxing
Irish Gaelic football has been cleaned up so much with rows and fighting being eliminated, it's nearly political correctness football now. The next time Ireland play Australia there will be a build up of anger and they'll will tear the Aussies apart 🤣🤣
Ireland rule
lol do you think they are our best players????
Now that this peculiar form of footy is essentially just punch-ups (often handbags) why doesn't the AFL just pick a team with all the big fellas? The rules are very much favoured towards the Irish winning anyway (round ball, rectangular field, Gaelic football goals) so we may as well at least come out of it with some national pride. It's annoying watching all the pint-sized AFLers running around getting the tripe belted out of them when some reasonable mongrel bruisers are sitting at home twiddling on their Play Stations.
The only way Australians can muster any "national pride"..........through a scrap lol
If the Aussie just come out with Thugs Ireland will just leave their best footballers at home and bring out thugs as well. There are plenty of them in Ireland as well.

Gaelic game is very physical
The rules in this game are mainly Irish, Im curious to see how well they would cope with mainly Aussie rules
@snipez1986 lol...
Calm down its just for fun
" We didn't come here to watch this" ugh, what? That's the only reason we watch this crap, for fights
aussy's thats not right your suppose to win
Lol brawl what brawl just push and shove
Razor
aussies ruined the whole thing. couldnt accept that a bunch of amateurs outplayed them in a sport. so they just fight.
up the aussies!
we should vs them in AFL, 100 goals would be in trouble
Yeah in some respects, because the Irish always play with a round ball as opposed to an oval ball. I'd love to see the Irish play with an AFL footy. Also International rules isn't as physical as AFL. The AFL blokes are used to bumping and trying to be physically dominant. It would be hard to basically learn a new game in short amount of time.

I'd rather watch the womens teams play this.
haaha how the fuck did we win? i've never even heard of this shit sport
haha its funny how the irish think coz they one this year therre gun not even we have first n second year afl players playing ie 18, 19 , 20 year olds, u have the best ov the irish gealic league playing, its simple will make a team and get judd, dane swan, hodge mitchell abblet and all the other great playesr to play the best of irland watch how much they get smashed by thats why we dnt send are best players coz yas windge when we smash you and its unfair :( booo hooo
To Irish people this looks just like that abortion known as Australian Rules gayball, most of the rules are gayFL and the Australian meatballs are too dense to adapt to the slight rule changes from their skill less meathead "sport". Whereas the Irish are all university educated amateurs the apeFL players are unable to count. Therefore, even the basic scoring system in this game confuses them and they resort to violence. Stick to rugby league.
