Can Ireland wrap up the autumn internationals with victory in Dublin or will this emerging Australian team spoil the party?

Today's game takes place at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, with kick-off set for 3.10 pm. The game will be broadcast live on Virgin Media One and available to stream on the Virgin Media Player.
