Ireland
Andy Farrell has named his team to take on Australia, and the big news coming out of camp Ireland is that Sam Prendergast will start at out half while Jack Crowley will start from the bench.
Bundee Aki rejoins the starting lineup alongside Robbie Henshaw while Gary Ringrose starts from the bench. Elsewhere in the backs Hugo Keenan and James Lowe replace Jamie Osbourne and Jacob Stockdale in the back three.
James Ryan also replaces Cormac Izuchukwu, while Cian Healy is set to become the most-capped Irish rugby player in history when he joins play from the bench.
Australia
The Wallabies, under Schmidt's guidance, have shown signs of improvement, recording impressive wins over England and Wales earlier in the series.
However, their recent 27-13 loss to Scotland highlighted areas needing attention, particularly in discipline and defensive organisation.
Schmidt reflected on the team's progress, saying, "I think [the players are] starting to believe in themselves... I always said from the start it would never be linear."
He is hopeful that players like Matt Faessler and Jeremy Williams will return from injury, adding depth to the squad.
Star back Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii's fitness will also be monitored closely after he sustained a wrist injury.
With both teams eager to finish the series on a high note, fans can expect a thrilling encounter filled with intensity and skill.
The stage is set for what promises to be a colossal Test match as Ireland seeks to assert their dominance at home while Australia aims to make a statement under their new coach.
