IRELAND WILL FACE AUSTRALIA in a World Cup warm-up Test next year, shortly before the tournament begins Down Under.
The Wallabies have announced that the fixture will take place on Saturday, September 18 at the GIO Stadium in Canberra. The match will be Ireland’s first ever Test in Canberra.
The Wallabies have played five Tests at the venue between 1998 and 2017, winning all of them, with their most recent match a 45-20 victory over Argentina in 2017.
