Reaction from Dublin following Ireland's victory over Australia

Highlights of Ireland's 27-24 win over Australia

Rory Best, Josh van der Flier and Michael Cheika react to Ireland's victory over Australia at the Aviva Stadium.

Injury-ravaged Ireland became the first European team since 2003 to complete calendar-year victories over the southern hemisphere's big three by fending off Australia 27-24 in Dublin.

Ireland lost Rob Kearney, Andrew Trimble and Jared Payne to injury in a bruising contest, having entered the clash without Johnny Sexton and Robbie Henshaw and late withdrawal Sean O'Brien.

Iain Henderson, Garry Ringrose and Keith Earls claimed Ireland's tries, while Dane Haylett-Petty, Tevita Kuridrani and Sefanaia Naivalu crossed for the Wallabies.
