MG?"c|nternational Rules star Peter Canavan says Ireland can beat Australia in today's second International Rules test in Melbourne but believes winning the series is beyond his fellow countryman. "I've hopes that they can win in the test match, but that's all. "I think you've got to be realistic and I wouldn't expect them to overturn that deficit. "I think the target should be to restore a bit of pride and try to win the match. "Despite the fact the Australians are leading by so much, they will not want to lose the second game. "They're a very proud nation, especially at home, so they'll definitely not want to lose the game."
