What to Expect From Ireland as Wounded Wallabies Arrive
The Wallabies aim to end a five-loss streak in six Tests by winning in Dublin and honoring coach Joe Schmidt, whose guidance revived key players' careers.
- On Sunday, the Wallabies visit Dublin's Aviva Stadium for Joe Schmidt's final international coaching trip, seeking a win after losing five of their past six Tests.
- Wallabies recalled Len Ikitau and veteran flyhalf James O'Connor to strengthen the side after recent setbacks and some players were overlooked for the 2023 World Cup.
- Schmidt's impact shows in players saying he revived careers like Len Ikitau and Harry Wilson, while Tom Donnelly urged forwards to clean up breakdown work for quicker ball.
- Schmidt's tenure ends in July when Les Kiss will take over, and Wallabies players say they want to 'give back to Joe' with a strong performance on Sunday.
- Ireland arrive after a 41-10 win against Japan, offering momentum and attacking confidence, while Mack Hansen could move to fullback amid absences as the backline returns to training.
