• What did the South Africans ever do for us?
Ireland Rugby
Elsom Wary!
Rocky Elsom as captain of the Wallabies will have a lot to say about the Ireland and Wales as the Australians enter their Grand Slam tour, the seven match schedule sees them take on New Zealand in Tokyo on Saturday and includes four games against the home unions of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
There will also be two midweek non-internationals against Gloucester and Cardiff!
Elsom one the Heineken Cup with Leinster last year and will have a special appreciation for Northern Hemisphere rugby now, particularly Ireland after their first Grand Slam in 61 years!
The home unions will have learnt a lot to too, with many players being involved in the British and Irish Lions Tour to South Africa… All in all this should make for a great autumn series!
