Rugby:Coach Allen Clarke has named his Ireland Under-19 team take on their Australian counterparts in Cork IT on Wednesday evening (7.30pm).
The visitors are looking for a second win of their trip to Britain and Ireland after they defeated an Irish Schoolboys side 31-14 at Belfield last Friday. Australia will also take on a Wales U19 side.
"The Under-19's is an integral part of the National Representative Pathway. As a nation it is our first combined age grade side," said Clarke.
"The match against Australia provides a unique occasion to measure our young Irish talent against the best from the Southern Hemisphere whilst offering Irish rugby the opportunity to benchmark the quality of our Elite Player Development Programs and the quality of this year group leading into next season’s Under-20's Six Nations and Junior World Championship tournaments."
