At the end of the boredom, Ireland got the better of Australia (13-10) on Saturday evening at the conclusion of this Saturday of autumn tests.
Between two solid teams defensively, but without imagination, the debates were balanced until the last second.
The Wallabies thought they were taking the lead with style thanks to a try from White (4th), refused on video for illegal clearing.
The Irish have developed their characteristic game, based on game patterns that leave little room for personal initiative.
Collisions being won by the visitors, the balance of power was gradually reversed and it was the Australians who monopolized the ball in the first period.
Sterile balloons in hand, they failed to cross the first opposing curtain.
In absolute mediocrity, the meeting finally settled shortly after the hour mark, where the releases were finally made more fluid in order to destabilize the defense of the southerners.
The ball, spread on Bundee Aki, allowed the center to score in force (65th).
His opponent reacted immediately,

And, at the same time, chain a third defeat after those conceded in France (30-29) and Italy (28-27).
