Add article description


In July 2020, Ireland was scheduled to play a two-test series against Australia as part of the 2020 July rugby union tests; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour was postponed on 15 May.[1] [2] The scheduled series was to occur two years after Ireland previously toured Australia, with the visiting side winning that series 2–1, the first time Ireland had won a series in Australia since 1979. This series was to be Andy Farrell's first overseas tour since becoming Ireland's head coach, as well as new Australia head coach Dave Rennie's first in charge since he took over from Michael Cheika.[3][4]
