Ireland began the month with a loss to the All Blacks that snapped their 19-game winning run at the Aviva, but bounced back with wins over Argentina and Fiji.

A nervy victory over the Pumas was followed by a huge 52-17 win against the Fijians last weekend, running in eight tries.

Australia, meanwhile, had their hopes of an autumn Grand Slam over the home nations ended with a 27-13 loss to Scotland.

Joe Schmidt’s side had beaten England and Wales in back-to-back weeks before a trip to Murrayfield ended in defeat.

The big story will be Schmidt’s return to the Aviva, having been arguably Ireland’s greatest coach after winning three Six Nations titles and ending their 111-year wait for a win over New Zealand, among other accomplishments.

Farrell was Schmidt’s assistant for three years, and the two will face off in the British and Irish Lions series Down Under next year.

Ireland v Australia key player to watch

Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland)

The scrum-half is the driving force in this Irish team, and sets the tone from the first minute. If he is having a good day, then so will Ireland. He has an excellent connection with much of the team and will exploit any gaps that the Wallabies leave around the ruck.

Ireland v Australia prediction

The Irish have bounced back from a lacklustre showing against the All Blacks in the first week to deliver two wins, even if one was a slightly nervy affair against Argentina. Schmidt was burned for some poor selection choices against Scotland, but will surely put out a stronger overall squad this weekend. Even so, Ireland should have the edge.

Prediction: IRELAND WIN
