AUSTRALIA BEAT IRELAND 56-46 to win the 2014 International Rules Series and lift the Cormac McAnallen Cup in Perth this morning.
Ireland trailed 35-7 at half-time but launched a determined second-half comeback which fell just short.
The visitors’ goals came courtesy of Monaghan’s Darren Hughes and this gem by Australia’s Nick Smith which was as ludicrous as it was glorious.
