RDS to host Ireland’s Fiji test

THE IRFU yesterday confirmed the kick-off times, dates and venues for their three Guinness Series games in November.

Ireland open their international season against Australia who will be making their first and only appearance at Croke Park. Six days later Declan Kidney’s side face Fiji at the RDS in the first full international to be played at the venue. It becomes the fourth venue in Dublin to hold an international game after the Leinster Cricket Ground, Lansdowne Road and Croke Park.

The final game of the series moves back to GAA headquarters for another first, with world champions South Africa coming to town on the last Saturday in November. Ticket prices and packages for all games will be announced in the coming weeks.
