Ireland vs Australia
Ireland close of their November internationals as they welcome Australia to the Aviva Stadium. These teams come into this match with contrasting emotions after the home side comprehensively thrashed Fiji 52-17 while the visitors are blown away by the Scots 27-13. Australia have lost the services of their giant lock Will Skelton as he is back at his club, La Rochelle. This match falls outside of the international window so he is not eligible to play without his clubs’ permission. Ireland have recalled fullback Hugo Keenan and winger James Lowe in what is their strongest possible team.
TIP: While the visitors may have lost the services of Skelton, they received good news in that props Taniela Tupou and James Slipper are both fit to start the match. In further great news for them, former rugby league star Joseph Suaalii has recovered from the hand knock he suffered against Scotland and will take his place in the 13 jersey. Ireland will be looking for their usual fast start as the Wallabies struggle whenever they are under pressure of chasing down a lead. The bookies have Ireland as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.12, SoccerShop 1.12 and Bettabets 1.12

Latest results for both teams
Ireland beat Fiji 52-17 in their last match while Australia lost 27-13 to Scotland in their last match.
PREDICTION
Australia looked fantastic in their opening two rounds of the tour but came horribly unstuck against the Scots, mainly after Suaalii was forced off the field. They lacked creativity in attack, something that they will definitely need against Irish side with a great defensive set. The match will be decided in the forwards and this is where I see the home side have the clear edge. The likes of Tupou and Slipper will need to put the Irish scrum under pressure which will stop them from quickly recycling their ball. Australia will be targeting young flyhalf Sam Prendergast to see if he can handle the pressure.I am predicting a home win by 10 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
