Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s game at Cork IT, U-19 coach Allen Clarke said: “The Under-19 grade is an integral part of the National Representative Pathway. As a nation, it is our first combined age grade side.
“The match against Australia provides a unique occasion to measure our young Irish talent against the best from the southern Hemisphere.
“It also offers Irish rugby the opportunity to benchmark the quality of our Elite Player Development programmes and the quality of this year’s group leading into next year’s Under-20 Six Nations and Junior World Championship tournaments.”
