THE Australians opened the scoring with a penalty goal after only two minutes, but Ireland Schools rampaged to their biggest win yet at Brighton RFC in Adelaide on Saturday in their third tour match.

The Australians' lead lasted only seven minutes, as Ireland forged ahead when Simon Best went over, and outside-half Bryn Cunningham added the conversion points. From then on it was one-way traffic.

The Irish ran in 14 tries, with the St Andrew's College flanker Peter Bracken and the CBC Cork left wing Rory Collins scoring hat-tricks; the Portadown College prop, Simon Best, grabbed two. The other try-scorers were Ronan O'Donovan, Jonathan Davis, Tim Cahill, Stephen Kennedy, Richard Woods and Leo Cullen.
