Ireland's Attack Under Fire as They Prepare to Face Australia in Dublin
Andrew Goodman, assistant coach of the Irish rugby team, has revealed that his side are working hard to address their "inconsistent" attack before this weekend's Test against Australia. The comments come on the back of a defeat by the All Blacks and a subsequent 41-10 win over Japan, where Ireland ultimately required three late tries to emerge victorious.
Goodman is keen for Ireland to replicate the free-flowing rugby they displayed in the opening minutes of their game against Japan, particularly during Jack Crowley's first try. The coach believes that this style of play needs to be more consistent across 80 minutes of play, rather than just moments in time.
In terms of selection dilemmas, the team has a strong choice at full-back, with Mack Hansen having completed full training and being in contention for a starting spot after his recent call-up. Goodman is confident that the team's depth in this position will serve them well, citing options such as Jacob Stockdale, Jimmy O'Brien, and Frawley.
However, despite the positive signs from their training sessions, Goodman acknowledges that Ireland still need to transfer their high standards into Test match environments. He has emphasized the importance of delivering a complete 80-minute display, rather than just relying on fleeting moments of brilliance.
As Ireland prepare to face Australia in Dublin, it remains to be seen whether they can overcome their attacking inconsistency and deliver a cohesive performance on the biggest stage.

. But at least they got some decent tries in. Mack Hansen seems like a solid pick for full-back, but what about their midfield? Can't just rely on one guy to make all the plays 
]
. I mean, I love watching games, but sometimes these coaches talk about how inconsistent their team's attack is and it's like, what even is that? 
Like, don't get me wrong, Australia looks tough, but come on, Ireland can do this! 
I've seen those guys play some crazy stuff in the World Cup a few years back 
, and I'm sure they can pull it off again. What's the deal with all these selection dilemmas, though? Can't they just pick one guy who does everything well? 
And honestly, I'm still waiting for the internet to catch up on some of this stuff... like, remember when 5G was supposed to change everything back in 2020? 
.
. Mack Hansen looks like a solid option at full-back, but they gotta be prepared 4 the big games 
. I mean, its defo importint 4 dem 2 figure out how 2 sustain that high standard throughout the match 
. Australia's gonna put 'em thru a wringer, so lets see if dey got what it takes 
.
I'm getting so tired of all these excuses for poor team performances! Can't they just get their act together?! 80 minutes is not just about trying to replicate that one good moment, it's about maintaining that level of intensity and focus throughout the entire game 
. And what's with all these selection dilemmas? They're always talking about depth at certain positions but can't seem to figure out how to get their attack to actually work in the long term 
. Hopefully, they'll find a way 2 balance thier attacking flair w/ more defensive solidity 
. With Mack Hansen lookin like a top contender 4 thier full-back spot, its good 2 see some depth & competition in that position 
and now they're facing one of the best teams in rugby, Australia! 
. He's got some great competition from Jacob Stockdale and Jimmy O'Brien, but I think Ireland need to focus on having a solid game plan, not just relying on individual brilliance 
.
. Fingers crossed Ireland can get their act together and put on a show 
!
, like, you can just eat 'em in one bite. I'm really thinkin' of goin' back there this weekend and gettin' a few to take with me when I head out to watch the rugby game. Maybe I'll even bring some to share with my mates 
. That'd be sick! Anyway, back to the Irish team... gotta hope they can sort out that attack thingy before the big match against Australia 
. Fingers crossed they can put it all together and get that win against Australia 
. It's like they're trying to be too fancy and forget about the basics. And I get it, consistency is key, but what's wrong with a little bit of flair every now and then? 
! Mack Hansen is looking fire 
. They just gotta keep pushing through the tough parts of the game, you know? Australia is gonna bring their A-game, so Ireland's gonna have to bring theirs too
