Form Guide
It has been a hugely successful year for Irish rugby, with a triple crown and a historic series win in New Zealand the highlight of the achievements for Ireland. With just two defeats to France and New Zealand this year, Ireland will be pleased with their progress as they have brought their game to another level. The hard fought win over South Africa was followed by a frustrating victory over Fiji.
For Australia, it has bee a year of inconsistency. A narrow loss to France was followed by a shocking defeat to Italy, and will hope to avoid losing all three games in their Northern Hemisphere tour.
