It was a classic Test at Croke Park between Australia and Ireland and this week Rocky Elsom and Les Kiss look at the match from opposing viewpoints.
The Grand Slam dream is over for the Wallabies and Ireland’s unbeaten run stretches to nine.
Although both camps disagree about who should have won, they both concur that Wycliff Palu’s hit on Rob Kearney was a legitimate tackle.
Ewen McKenzie reviews the other big test matches across Europe including France’s upset win over South Africa which he forecast.
Our In-Depth Analysis this week brought to you by bobdwyerrugby.com is PHYSICALITY.
Inspired by Wycliff Palu’s big hit last weekend, Physicality deals with preparing your players for the impacts and hard slog each week.
Once again it is a masterclass of the highest order by our coaches and a must listen for students and coaches of the game.

This week we go deep into the Irish bunker to speak at length with Les Kiss ahead of Sunday’s blockbuster at Croke Park against the Grand Slam seeking Wallabies.
All is set for an epic clash between an Australian team boosted by a win over England and the Six Nations champions who are yet to show their stuff this autumn.
We look at England with Les and Ewen McKenzie and see if there are positives to come out of their first up defeat. The return of Jonny Wilkinson is certainly one.
The French take on the world champion Springboks and the All Blacks hit the catwalk in Milan.

He’s the man the whole world is talking about and he’s on RuggaMatrix for Episode 023 – The Rock.
Leinster flanker Rocky Elsom joins the full panel this week to talk about the Heineken Cup final series and life in general in Ireland. Elsom’s immediate future had not yet been decided but he’s keen to play for the Wallabies when the Test programme resumes in June. He spends a good 40 minutes with the panel discussing a range of issues that span the globe. Will he stay or will he go after the Heineken Cup Final? He was pretty tight-lipped but we had a crack anyway.
Find out what he thinks of his Leinster teammates and a whole lot more including a summary of Leinster’s win over Munster at the weekend. And what about that Cardiff v Leicester shoot-out in the other semifinal? Lots to talk about indeed.
Following the Elsom interview we look at the final stages of the Super 14 in the southern hemisphere. The Hurricanes v Chiefs is the stand out clash for the weekend ahead.
Our subject for in-depth analysis this week is CATCH AND PASS.
Why has the most basic skill dramatically fallen away in quality in many our professional teams? The panel throws up some reasons for it and offers solutions.
