Ireland's Mack Hansen runs in one of his three tries
Andy Farrell's men warmed up for a mouthwatering autumn finale against the Springboks with a 46-19 victory over the Wallabies on Saturday evening in Dublin.
Mack Hansen claimed a hat-trick against his native country before second-half scores from Caelan Doris, Ryan Baird and Robbie Henshaw capped Ireland’s most convincing display of this international window.
“It was unbelievably enjoyable: to be at home putting in a good performance, Saturday night, atmosphere was unreal,” said Conan.
“We had some really good moments, some unbelievable bits of play, like that last 20-30 minutes was brilliant from the lads.
“It was a real stepping stone, the best performance we've had in the last few weeks, so the lads are happy and it’s a brilliant launchpad for next week.
