You don't think 134 is a colossal score for an IR match? Reportedly Cora and co had the cue in the rack from midway through the second too. Silly
It's what the Irish men's team would have also scored if they played Australia with the same ridiculous rules.
 
I'm just trying to put things in perspective. An 8-0 soccer match is more of a blowout than a 40-18 rugby league game, despite the scores. Of course they are completely different games, but respective fans know a belting when they see it.

Also you don't think 134 is a colossal score for an IR match? Reportedly Cora and co had the cue in the rack from midway through the second too. Silly
Your not allowing for the fact that the Aussie team was basically a suburban club team.
Regardless of the importance of some of the names in that team for the development of women's footy, given the development in women's footy since then, I think a mid ranked AFLW team from now, would utterly destroy them.

Women's GAA on the other hand, developed an elite female structure earlier than footy did.

Given that, a game favouring GAA rules, between them, was always going to be lopsided.

I don't think this is true now, in fact, I think it's reversed. And in a game based on footy rules, I don't think an Irish team has much chance.
