Ireland lose the LO on their own 5. Wallabies on the attack but Folau gets nudged over the touchline

Early shove from Oz and Ireland make their way upfield before a good counter ruck earns the visitors possession. Cooper goes long and the ball just about beats Adam Ashley-Cooper to the line

Folau with a wonderful take from the high ball. Looks for the offload but knock on comes from Genia. Irish scrum just around halfway

**** first kick from Sexton. Just nerves I hope

Sexton misses touch and Cummins runs it back. Play inside Irish half but Hooper comes in the side. Pollock pings the visitors and Sexton will go to the line again

Matt Toomua gets us underway. Ireland regather the restart and earn a pen for Wallabies offside

its gonna be great game :)

Anthem time at the Aviva. Just 3/4 minutes to KO

Hello and welcome along to our coverage of today's encounter between Ireland and Australia here in Dublin. Ireland got off to a winning start under Joe Schmidt last weekend and with the likes of O'Connell, Healy and O'Brien in from the start, the hosts will be keen to assert some dominance upfront. For Australia, Ewen McKenzie's men are staring down the barrel of the worst season, statistically, in Wallabies history. However, with Quade Cooper back on form and Folau, Toomua and Kuridrani at the peak of their powers, the visitors may just have the edge across the backline. Stay tuned for live commentary throughout. Big 80 minutes ahead.

I actually hope australia win showing southern hemisphere dominance
