Wallabies succumb to top-ranked Ireland in Dublin
A late penalty from Ross Byrne gave Ireland a 13-10 victory against Australia, a 12th home win in a row coming despite the absence of captain Johnny Sexton.
Fly-half Sexton was removed from the starting line-up just minutes before kick-off due to injury but the host nation still emerged triumphant from a low-scoring affair.
An early Nic White try for Australia was disallowed by the TMO for a neck roll, with a Jack Crowley penalty sending Ireland into the break with a 3-0 advantage.
The second half in Dublin began in similar low-scoring fashion.
Jamison Gibson-Park was denied a try for Ireland when his effort was disallowed because Mack Hansen's foot was in touch before his pass.
Bernard Foley then levelled the score with a penalty for Australia.
A first try finally came in the 67th minute with Bundee Aki going over on his return from an eight-game suspension.
The Australians responded five minutes later when Jordan Petaia crossed.
With the game headed towards a stalemate, Byrne kept his nerve to slot home the match-winning penalty as the clock ticked over to 76 minutes.
His kick from out wide near the right touchline sailed over from distance to the delight of the home fans.
