Speaking at the announcement today, Brian O’Driscoll was certainly excited about the GUINNESS Series, saying that the games at the Aviva Stadium and the match against Fiji offer up different challenges.

“You only have to look at the performances Argentina and South Africa have turned in over the last couple of weeks to see what big games these are going to be for us in November,” he said.

“South Africa will always have big men as well as pace and power, but when you see how well they created opportunities against New Zealand in their last outing in a game that they and a lot of others would feel they should have won, you can see that they will be bringing a lot more to the table.

“Tradition in rugby always plays a big part in how international teams play, so the visit of Fiji to Limerick will certainly see our ability to run with the ball and to defend a wide game tested.

“Every time I have played at Thomond Park for Ireland, the crowd have come out in strength and given us magnificent support, so I know that they will be in for a treat of running rugby when we play Fiji.

“Argentina has been fairly impressive, probably deserving one if not two victories in the Rugby Championship, and they have gotten better and better as the tournament has gone on.

“Their physicality in contact was the big stand out and you can see how important it has been for them, but they’ve also continued to develop their attacking threats across the park.

“You could see it when they took South Africa on at their own game and deserved a victory at home and shook New Zealand and Australia away from home.

“Playing in the Ireland jersey at home for your country is always something very special and it still hasn’t become any less of a buzz. The Aviva has had some great occasions for us and judging by how South Africa and Argentina are shaping up, this November should see some great matches.”
