Ireland's greatest win? You be the judge: Kidney

AUCKLAND - Coach Declan Kidney prefers historians to debate whether Ireland's heart-pumping World Cup victory over Australia was its greatest, but he says it was nice to finally get one over the Wallabies.

The redoubtable men in green produced one of their most spirited performances to fluster and harry the Tri-Nations champions to an abject 15-6 defeat in what felt a 'home ground' atmosphere at Auckland's Eden Park on Saturday.

The driven Irish stunned the Wallabies with their ferocity and commitment to pressure them into error and take charge of Pool C after two games and throw World Cup quarterfinal forecasts out the window.
