Ireland v Australia for the Lansdowne Cup - every scrum, every tackle, every score as it happens right here on IrishRugby.ie.

Ireland's first outing of the new international season will see Declan Kidney's men clash with the touring Wallabies at a packed-out Croke Park.

The last time Australia visited Dublin back in November 2006, they fell to a 21-6 defeat as tries from Denis Hickie and Geordan Murphy helped Ireland to a deserved win at a blustery Lansdowne Road.

The sides' most recent meeting saw the Australians win back the Lansdowne Cup courtesy of an 18-12 victory in Melbourne in June 2008.

Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll's memorable try from that game was later named the International Rugby Players Association's Try of the Year.

More of the same could see the Grand Slam champions get their 2009/10 campaign off to an encouraging start this afternoon at Croker.

Make sure you catch all the action as it happens with full live text commentary and score updates on O2 MatchDay Live.
