Ireland is set to take on the All Blacks and Wallabies this November in the Autumn Nations Series, as confirmed by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU). On November 8, Andy Farrell's team will face the All Blacks at the Aviva Stadium, their first encounter since being eliminated from the 2023 Rugby World Cup by New Zealand in the quarter-finals. Ireland will also play against Argentina on November 15 and Fiji on November 23. The series will culminate on November 30 with former Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt leading the Wallabies to the Aviva Stadium.
Farrell expressed excitement for the upcoming matches, which are part of the IRFU's 150th-year celebrations. This November's line-up promises to be a series to remember, as Ireland tests itself against formidable opponents. Farrell will lead the team in his final four Tests before focusing on the 2025 British and Irish Lions tour of Australia.
