Yet another solid performance by Ireland, this time against an Australian team that didn't look too interested after the first 10 minutes.

Neil Best had an immense game with some big hits and he certainly caught the eye of commentator Eddie Butler. (Will Colinh now have a rival for the title of Besties Biggest Fan?)

Rory and Bryan looked solid enough in the front row, though the strength of the Aussie pack was open to question. Their solid play around the park contributed to the high level of ball retention and it was good to see front row players working at the pit face of the breakdowns rather than being show ponies around the park.

Hugo was very solid if, understandably, a little subdued from his Ulster best. It is no coincidence however that with the forwards winning ball and with Hugo keeping the Aussie back row honest that the "Gorgeous, Pouting" Ronan actually looked like an outhalf and not a frightened choirboy waiting for someone to run over him.

Despite two solid performances by Ireland and the inclusion of more and more Ulster players there is still a nagging doubt at the back of my mind - has O'Stunted left it too late to bring in the new players?

Players he's been forced to bring in - Flannery, Trimble, Best and Leamey - have all had motm performances. I have no doubt that if given the chance Hugo and Rory are capable of this as well. These players will be going into the World Cup with somewhere between three and ten real international games behind them. Is this enough? The other big question is, "What are we going to do when (not if) the "Gorgeous Pouting" Ronan gets injured?"

Still the same two gallotts at the top of the tree with nearly everyone going for Cardiff last week - though I must say they were very lucky.

Again there's only one game this weekend so don't forget to get your prediction in. This game will also be added to the Week 11 scores.

You've got to 6:00pm Saturday 25th for this weeks game.

Sat 25 19:00 Munster v Ospreys
