Ireland vs Wallabies live blog


It has been a very positive start to the Spring tour for the Wallabies. As we head into game four, the Grand Slam is still alive following wins over Wales, Scotland and most recently France.

This weekend, the Aussies head to Ireland to face an Irish side whose win over the All Blacks just weeks ago remains the talk of the rugby world.

It’s been no walk in the park of late for the Wallabies, as late Tevita Kuridrani tries were all that stood between the side and losses against both Scotland and France.

The Irish will be without a host of stars for the match, following a bruising encounter with the All Blacks at Lansdowne Road last week. Johnny Sexton and Rob Henshaw will miss the match, although CJ Stander has ben passed fit to play after undergoing tests following a suspected concussion against New Zealand.
