Overview
- Kick-off is 8:10pm UK time on Saturday 15 November at the Aviva Stadium, live on TNT Sports 1 with streaming via discovery+ on Amazon Prime Video.
- Ireland start Mack Hansen at full-back and Sam Prendergast at fly-half, with prop Paddy McCarthy making his Test debut and Stuart McCloskey returning in midfield.
- Australia recall James O'Connor at No 10, Len Ikitau at inside centre and Allan Alaalatoa at tighthead, with Rob Valetini back in the pack under captain Harry Wilson.
- Australia arrive after a 26-19 defeat to Italy and five losses in their last six Tests, while Ireland follow a 26-13 loss to New Zealand and an unconvincing 41-10 win over Japan.
- Recent history favours Ireland with four straight wins over Australia, each decided by five points or fewer, and betting lists the hosts as strong favourites.
