Caelan Doris and his Ireland team intend to mark the IRFU 150th Anniversary match against Australia in style, and not just by wearing a special commemorative jersey.

The Ireland captain wants to ensure the milestone is more than just a number as a sold-out Aviva Stadium prepares to welcome back former head coach and current Wallabies boss Joe Schmidt for his first game in Dublin since ending his highly successful nine-year term in Irish Rugby in 2019.
