IT MAY BE three days until Ireland take on Australia in Dublin in the second of their November tests, but the battle has already begun on Twitter.
The official accounts of both sides have exchanged a short series of good-natured messages on the social network this morning, with Ireland clearly in the lead at this early stage.
Hopefully there will be a decent turn out of Australians for the game on Saturday and this kind of slagging can continue in the stadium as St. BOD leads us to victory.
