SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia scrumhalf Will Genia has very good reason not to underestimate the Ireland side the Wallabies will face in their three-test series opener in Brisbane this weekend and it has nothing to do with them being Six Nations champions.

Seven years ago at his first World Cup in New Zealand, Genia was in his pomp as a World Player of the Year nominee after playing an integral role in a maiden Super Rugby triumph for the Queensland Reds.
