Wallabies facing "sizeable damage bill" from IRFU for dressing room damage The culprit for the damage to the dressing room remains unknown. THE IRISH Rugby union are considering sending the ARU a sizeable damages bill after a Wallabies staff member broke a dressing room door in the wake of their 26-23 loss to Ireland at Aviva Stadium last weekend. The frustration of a second close defeat in as many weeks appears to have boiled over with damage reportedly costing "a few thousand euros" on the door and hinges courtesy of an unspecified incident. The identity of the culprit is also uncertain but it is believed it was not coach Michael Cheika, who last year damaged a coaches box at Canberra Stadium following a NSW defeat. The Irish Examiner newspaper reports in a front-page mention of the door damage that the ARU owned up to the IRFU soon after the match. The Wallabies were defeated 26-23 by Ireland in Dublin. There was an accident after the match involving one of our support staff. We made the IRFU aware of this on the evening of the game and have offered our assistance in any way if required," an ARU spokesman told Irish Examiner. The paper added the IRFU refused to comment publicly but was weighing up whether to "formally bill the Australian Union for the damage." But the Wallabies downplayed the reports on Wednesday, saying they and the Irish, couldn't be more relaxed about the issue. A team spokesperson said a member of the Wallabies" support staff had accidentally made a hole in a wall and Irish authorities had been informed immediately, denying that an angry outburst caused the damage.
