Crowley converted, the scoreboard moved on to show 32 points next to Ireland’s name, 14 to Australia’s, and the night was as good as over, even though there were nine minutes still to play and even though Billy Pollard reduced the gap with a 73rd minute Wallaby try.
Wallabies' inability to compete in the air and a torrid night at lineout time see them slump to third straight loss and sixth in their last seven Tests.
Australia's last three games in Dublin have all been decided by a three-point margin. Ireland came out on top on all of those occassions in 2016, 2022 and 2024. Is it the Wallabies' time in Dublin?
Ireland host Australia at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday in the third of their Autumn International clashes. Andy Farrell's men defeated Japan 41-10 at the Aviva last Saturday following their 26-13 defeat to New Zealand in Chicago seven days beforehand.
Australia, meanwhile, have been joined by veteran fly half James O’Connor in Dublin. O’Connor featured in all six of the side’s Rugby Championship games before joining Leicester, but was unavailable for the defeat to England as it fell outside of World Rugby’s Test window.
James O'Connor will play his first Test in the northern hemisphere in four years after being recalled by Australia to face Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.
