The Wallabies were defeated 46-19 by Ireland in Dublin, leaving them without a win so far on their spring rugby tour. The match saw Australian-born but Irish-pledged full-back Mack Hanson score a first-half hat-trick, contributing to Ireland's commanding lead.

Despite trailing by only five points at halftime, Australia conceded three tries in the final ten minutes. The Wallabies' last opportunity to secure a win on the tour will be against France, who are ranked fifth in the world.

Wallabies fall to record-breaking defeat against Ireland

The Wallabies are facing the prospect of a winless spring tour after being thumped 46-19 by Ireland. Making matters worse, Australian-born, though Irish-pledged full-back Mark Hanson, Mack Hanson rather, scored a first-half hat-trick. Just five points down at the break, the Aussies let in three tries in the last ten minutes. The question around what are we asking of the Australian public, we can't demand anything on the back of what we did in the last ten minutes. I'm confident that we can still fight our way into that contest next week. Their last shot at returning home with a win is on Sunday against France, ranked fifth in the world.
