Ireland get their 2026 Nations Championship underway with a difficult test in Australia on Saturday morning.
The visitors head into the inaugural Nations Championship after finishing second in the Six Nations earlier this year.
Six Nations winners France are likely to provide their main competition when it comes to reaching November's Nations Championship final.
Meanwhile, hosts Australia will be desperate to get off to a winning start in what looks to be an evenly-matched contest.
Australia v Ireland will be available to watch live in the UK on ITV 1.
Live streaming of Australia v Ireland is also available via ITV X.
Australia v Ireland will be played at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney and will get underway at 11:10 BST on Saturday 4th July.
