Australia scored one of the great own goals in International Rules history

Surely this is enough reason to keep the series alive?

AUSTRALIA BEAT IRELAND 56-46 to win the 2014 International Rules Series and lift the Cormac McAnallen Cup in Perth this morning.

Ireland trailed 35-7 at half-time but launched a determined second-half comeback which fell just short.

The visitors’ goals came courtesy of Monaghan’s Darren Hughes and this gem by Australia’s Nick Smith which was as ludicrous as it was glorious.
