Begley urges psychological approach
Ireland star Colm Begley has stressed that the Irish most use the ball wisely in the Second Test, if they are to defeat Australia in Croke Park on Sunday.
Begley, who is currently plying his trade in the AFL, admits that the Aussies are physically stronger, but believes that Ireland should win the tactical battle like they did in Pearse Stadium last Saturday night. “The Australians are supreme professionals and obviously a very fit tea, but we have to play smart and play our own game,� said the Laois native. “I think we did, and in the last few minutes played more Gaelic football than anything else. They love to run the ball a lot. When you have players like we have – the forwards we have up there are unbelievable, McDonnell and Coulter. If we just play our own game more and use our head a bit more instead of our brawn I think we will win out.�
