Ireland team v Australia: Andy Farrell names starting XV for Aviva Stadium clash
Ireland rugby union team
Ireland host Australia at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday in the third of their Autumn International clashes. Andy Farrell's men defeated Japan 41-10 at the Aviva last Saturday following their 26-13 defeat to New Zealand in Chicago seven days beforehand. They host world champions South Africa in Dublin in their final Autumn International next weekend. Mack Hansen and Stuart McCloskey will feature in Saturday's clash with Australia, having been named in the starting XV. Connacht wing Hansen was brought into Farrell's autumn squad on Monday, after initially being overlooked due to a foot injury. Ulster centre McCloskey missed last the triumph over Japan due to a groin issue he picked up a week earlier in the loss to New Zealand. Full-back Jamie Osborne was ruled out for the rest of the autumn series on Monday, which Ireland wrap up at home against world champions South Africa on November 22, because of a shoulder injury. Australia-born Hansen has never started in the number 15 jersey at Test level, but his last four appearances for Connacht have been in that position. In addition to the loss of Osborne, head coach Farrell is also without regular full-back Hugo Keenan due to injury.
