Australia next for Irish schools side

Ireland will face 10 of the New South Wales side they defeated on Sunday in the Schools rugby test match next Thursday.

Australia have selected their sides for the forthcoming Schools 'A' and test matches. Their test side looks set to be dominated by the New South Wales side that won the schools championship, as 10 of the starting test line-up hail from that State.

Ireland defeated NSW 14-5 last Sunday, with NSW only scoring their try in injury time. Six of the pack will come from the state.

Before that, Ireland must take on Australia 'A' on Sunday. The Aussie 'A' side is broad-based, but still includes eight from NSW.
