You'd like to think playing at home would be an advantage and usually the Wallabies are great in high pressure situations but during the world cup they will be under a type of pressure they have never experienced before, which as you said reverses the homeground advantage which of course is a shame cos I would like nothing better than for them to win the world cup at home.
I'm looking forward to the Irish game which is only just over a week away to see what style of game they are playing, maybe all these injuries will be be a good thing, we may get to see a lot of the younger players. Too bad Brian O'Driscol and Keith Wood are out (I think) though it still should be an interesting game.
