In 2011 a nation rejoiced as Ireland landed a shock victory over Australia at the World Cup. It finished 15-6. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the high-point of the tournament as Declan Kidney's side feel at the all-too-familiar hurdle of a quarter-final.
This week Will Genia addressed that game, telling the Sydney Herald they underestimated Ireland.
When I look back there we probably underestimated them going into that game, which is pretty disrespectful. They taught us a lesson which was good. To be fair, I was probably just ignorant back then. People just know more. Whether it’s social media or people take more of an interest, they know the Sextons, they knows the Murrays, all the big players they have and the impacts they’ve had at club level with Leinster.
There’s no chance of us underestimating them.
Ireland also have several survivors from that game in the current squad. With Ireland set to face Australia this Saturday for the first of three tests, we decided to test how well you remember the last time both sides met outside of Ireland.
You have three minutes and surnames are acceptable.
