'Hansen shines brightest as Ireland heed Farrell's call'
Ireland's rugby squad bounced back after coach Andy Farrell's tough talk following a lackluster win against Japan. In an impressive 46-19 victory over Australia, newcomer Mack Hansen shone with a hat-trick of tries in his first international start at full-back. Despite missing playing time due to injuries, Hansen expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent Ireland and emphasized the importance of delivering strong performances to maintain his place in the team.
