Ireland showcased their strength at the Aviva Stadium, defeating Australia 46-19 in an international friendly. Mack Hansen was the standout performer, scoring three tries in the opening half, with Sam Prendergast converting all three and adding a drop goal.

In the second half, Ireland continued to build their lead, with Caelan Doris and Ryan Baird adding further tries. Jack Crowley also contributed with multiple conversions after coming on as a substitute. Australia's efforts were hampered by a yellow card for Nick Frost, which allowed Ireland to exploit the numerical advantage.
