Well it is going to be a huge long-weekend for sports in Melbourne this weekend.
First we have Derby Day at the Races, with other horse racing events following each day until the climax on Tuesday.
At the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) the Australian and Irish National Football teams go head-to-head in the 'Internation Rules Series', which is a mix of AFL Football & Irish football
At "The Dome" we have the Rugby World Cup, where Australia is playing the Irish, and I beleive both teams will get into the finials win or loose.
And to finish off the long weekend on Tuesday, we have the "Race that stops the Nation"! The famous "Melbourne Cup" horse race, in which an Irish horse is also suppose to run.
The Irish Pubs are going to make a years profit from this one weekend.
