Hugo Keenan celebrates scoring - Matt King/Getty Images
Ireland’s Nations Championship campaign got off to a winning start after a dramatic finish against Australia.
Andy Farrell’s side trailed with three minutes remaining before replacement tighthead Thomas Clarkson crossed from short range after sustained pressure to draw them level. Fly-half Sam Prendergast then held his nerve to put Ireland two points ahead.
Ireland conceded a penalty with the clock in the red, giving Ben Donaldson the opportunity to snatch victory with a kick from over 50 metres out on the angle.
However, Donaldson’s attempt never threatened the posts, allowing Ireland to extend their winning run against the Wallabies to six matches on the bounce.

‘Ireland resilient, Australia brilliant’, says Cave
Former Ireland centre Darren Cave on BBC Radio: “Unbelievable stuff! I’m so impressed with Ireland’s resilience.
“The Wallabies were brilliant. Joe Schmidt will be lying in his bed tonight wondering how they’ve lost that game.
“Ultimately it just came down to the Australian goal kicking. Three from five. That was the difference between the two sides.”
01:04pm
Epic contest in Sydney
What an epic contest to start the two teams’ Nations Championship campaigns. They scored five tries each but it was the visitors who edged it thanks to an extra conversion.
Australia led from the 53rd minute but Clarkson’s 77th-minute try and Prendergast’s subsequent conversion won it for Ireland.
01:01pm
Full time: Australia 31 Ireland 33
Donaldson steps up for Australia, from more than 50 metres out at an angle out wide to the right, but his kick sails to the right of the posts and it’s victory for Ireland!

81 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 33
The clock ticks into the red as Australia earn the penalty advantage just inside Ireland’s half.

80 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 33
Australia have possession but they are struggling to break into the Irish half as the clock ticks over past the 79-minute mark.
12:56pm
TRY! Ireland edge ahead in closing stages
Australia 31 Ireland 33 (Clarkson) Ireland can make the most of the extra man!
They tap and go with the penalty in the corner down their left and it’s Clarkson who makes the decisive surge over the line.
Prendergast holds his nerve to edge Ireland ahead by two points! Can they hold on?
12:55pm
77 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
The referee brings play back for a previous foul from Australia in the corner. Ireland go for the tap and go and quickly earn another advantage for an offside.
The ball is spilt by the visitors but play is brought back and Shaw is given a yellow for his infringement. Can Ireland capitalise on the extra man?
12:53pm
75 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Hooper is penalised for an offside in the centre of the park and Prendergast produces a sensational kick, finding touch right in the corner down Ireland’s right.
Ireland work the ball from right to left and are pushing for the line in the corner. The visitors look to spray it back out to the right but Frawley is left isolated and can’t find space in the corner.
12:49pm
72 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
O’Brien is penalised for obstruction, with Australia chasing the box-kick, and tempers flare for a moment, with Frawley playing on after the whistle.
Australia opt to kick for the posts from out wide on their right, looking to move eight points ahead, but Donaldson drags his kick slightly across the face of the target.
12:46pm
69 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Australia have the scrum just in front of their line and they win the penalty at the set piece once again.
Donaldson’s subsequent kick is a good one, taking his team close to halfway.
12:44pm
67 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Ireland work the ball inside following the line-out and are within a couple of metres of the line but Ryan spills it just in front of the posts and a massive chance goes by.
That pass probably wasn’t met for the second row there, with Gibson-Park waiting just behind.
12:43pm
66 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Ireland are building nicely down their left before Timoney breaks a wonderful line-breaking run, thanks to an excellently timed pass from Prendergast, to get the visitors into the Australia 22.
The replacement is tackled 10 metres out but the home side are penalised at the breakdown and Ireland will have another line-out in the corner down their left.
12:40pm
64 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Australia attack well done their left once again, but Keenan makes a big tackle on Jorgensen, forcing him into touch and earning the line-out.
The full-back then competes well following the box-kick, allowing his team to regain possession in the Australia half.
12:39pm
63 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Australia work the ball from left to right following the line-out but the final pass out to the flank has far too much height on it and Ireland will have the line-out in their half.
It’s a poor kick from Gibson-Park, allowing Australia to come straight back at Ireland, but the ball runs loose as they look to attack down their left.
12:37pm
61 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Loughman is forced to make way after just getting his head on the wrong side of Valetini in the tackle. O’Toole is back on the for visitors.
Ireland are penalised at the Australia scrum and the home side can kick for touch down their left.
12:35pm
60 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Loughman is caught heavily in a collision with Valetini so there will a break in play here as the replacement receives treatment.
12:34pm
TRY DISALLOWED! Ryan penalised for obstruction
Australia 31 Ireland 26 There was such a wide gap for Sheehan to cross following the maul, and it turns out that was partly down to some obstruction from Ryan on Wilson at the last moment.
So the try is disallowed! Australia remain ahead.
12:31pm
59 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 33
But hang on, just before play restarts, there is going to be a TMO check for potential obstruction in the move for the try.
12:31pm
TRY! Sheehan cross after powerful Ireland maul
Australia 31 Ireland 33 (Sheehan) There is another Australia foul, so Ireland will have another line-out in the corner down their right and this time they get it right.
The visitors maul well and eventually it all just opens up for Sheehan to have an easy passage for the line.
Prendergast is accurate from the tee again, so the lead passes back into the hands of the visitors.
12:27pm
56 mins: Australia 31 Ireland 26
Ireland win a penalty and can kick for the corner down their right but it’s another line-out lost by the visitors and the chance is wasted.
12:25pm
TRY! Australia back in front with Ireland caught napping
Australia 31 Ireland 26 (McDermott) Australia retake the lead once again, and Ireland will be disappointed with that one.
Australia have the scrum just in front of the line, but McDermott opts for the tap and go before darting round the side of the scrum and over the line. Ireland were caught out there.
Gordon makes the conversion and Australia move five ahead.
12:22pm
52 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 26
Australia are pushing for an immediate response and as they push for the line, a couple of metres out, they earn the penalty.
But first, Farrell makes a host of changes to his forwards, with Beirne among those coming on.
12:18pm
50 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 26
It was Keenan who made the try-saving tackle when Ireland were trailing 24-12. How fitting then it is that it’s the full-back who gives Andy Farrell’s men the lead.
12:17pm
Try! Keenan secures bonus point as Ireland take lead
Australia 24 Ireland 26 (Keenan) Ireland, as they did in the first half, go for the tap and go with the penalty from a couple of metres out.
The ball is worked from left to right and Keenan comes in on a wonderful line to break through the Australia defence and cross for a fourth Irish try.
The conversion is there and Ireland are back in the lead.
12:15pm
46 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 19
Williams is penalised for an illegal infringement at the line-out and Ireland can kick for the corner down their left.
Australia win it back at the subsequent line-out but it wasn’t done fairly, with the hosts are penalised yet again.
12:13pm
45 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 19
Ireland win it back following the line-out and McCloskey goes on a fabulous surge forward after selling a couple of Australian defenders with a dummy.
Gibson-Park then opts for a kick in behind but Gordon is covering well and kicks clear.
12:12pm
43 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 19
There is a scare for Gibson-Park as his box-kick from inside the Ireland 22 is charged down, but Prendergast sweeps up and produces a massive kick that dribbles into touch, well in the Australia half.
Ireland then give away a foul following the Australian line-out, though, with McCarthey penalised for a slightly high tackle.
12:09pm
41 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 19
We are back underway in Sydney with Gordon and Australia kicking things off, going from right to left in this second period.
12:09pm
Victories for Japan and New Zealand
Japan have beaten Italy 27-10 in the second match of the day, following New Zealand’s 34-32 victory over France in Christchurch.
12:07pm
First half ‘great advertisement’ for Nations Championship, says Murray
Former Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray on BBC Radio: “We want this competition to be exciting and have lots of viewers. This is already a great advertisement for it.
“I’m excited to see Ireland come out in the second half. They look a bit more comfortable and they might feel like they’re together again.
“Australia look dangerous. Joe Schmidt will be really happy at half-time with what he’s seen, but he’ll also be a bit frustrated with the Hugo Keenan tackle.”
11:55am
Half-time: Australia 24 Ireland 19
That conversion brings the opening period to an end and it’s all to play for in the second half in Sydney.
11:55am
TRY! Gibson-Park strikes on brink of half-time
Australia 24 Ireland 19 (Gibson-Park) Ireland have the scrum then as the clock ticks into the red, and they look to create something from their own 22 at the end of this opening period.
They make good progress, quickly getting up to the Australia 22, and a slick combination from outside to in releases Gibson-Park in behind the home defence for an easy passage to the line.
The conversion is made by Prendergast and that could be a crucial score from Ireland right at the end of this first half.
11:51am
40 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 12
There is some more slick passing from Australia down their left, but the move comes to an end with a knock-on on the flank, with Jorgensen seemingly caught out by the quick hands from his team-mates.
11:49am
38 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 12
Sua’ali’i breaks through a gap in the Irish defence and is darting for the line, but Keenan gets back to make a crucial tackle, which forces a knock-on from the Australian centre.
That’s a huge intervention from the Ireland full-back.
11:47am
36 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 12
Lonergan has an issue and makes way for McDermott, appearing to make his way down the tunnel for some treatment. It looks like a blood replacement, perhaps.
Australia have the first scrum of the match following an Irish knock-on but McDermott’s subsequent kick isn’t the best, slicing off into touch, well before the halfway line.
11:45am
34 mins: Australia 24 Ireland 12
Ireland earn a line-out high up down their right this time as they look to bounce back from a difficult 10-minute spell.
They shift the ball over to their left but Van der Flier is penalised at he breakdown, with Sua’ali’i showing good intelligence to force the foul.
11:40am
TRY! Lonergan secures bonus point with try on the break
Australia 24 Ireland 12 (Lonergan) Australia have nicked a fourth try as they secure a bonus point.
Ireland are working the ball from left to right, but a pass from Prendergast is too close to Jorgensen, who makes the interception.
The wing bursts clear down Australia’s left before offloading to the supporting Lonergan, who has an easy passage over the line.
The conversion is there again and the hosts have a healthy lead.
11:37am
TRY! Canham in for Australia
Australia 17 Ireland 12 (Canham) The lead changes hands once again!
Some more strong running from Australia’s back line allows them to penetrate Ireland’s 22 once again.
The visitors manage to get numbers back, stopping the hosts a couple of metres out, but Canham is able to collect power over.
Gordon makes the conversion this time so the lead is up to five points.
11:31am
TRY! Van der Flier crosses after tap and go
Australia 10 Ireland 12 (Van der Flier) It’s another good response to going behind from Ireland.
The visitors tap and go with the penalty from a couple of metres out, and Sheehan just pops the ball off to his inside to Van der Flier, who drives over the line.
The conversion is wide this time from Prendergast, but Ireland are back in front.
11:29am
18 mins: Australia 10 Ireland 7
There’s a feeling of deja vu, with Ireland winning the penalty and finding touch in the corner down their left flank.
They maul for the line following the line-out and again, find themselves a couple of metres out.
The ball is fumbled by Ringrose but the visitors had the penalty advantage so play is brought back.
11:27am
TRY! Campbell finishes slick move to restore advantage
Australia 10 Ireland 7 (Campbell) What an enthralling start to this match!
There is some really powerful running from Gordon shortly after the restart and he takes his side into Ireland’s 22.
Again they attack down their right and some slick passing creates an overload on the flank. Campbell has support on his outside but he doesn’t need it, darting over in the corner.
Again, the conversion is missed so the advantage remains at three points.
11:23am
TRY! Prendergast brothers edge Ireland ahead
Australia 5 Ireland 7 (C. Prendergast) It’s a good response from Ireland.
They win a foul at the breakdown as they make progress into Australia’s half and it’s a really accurate kick into the corner down their left.
The visitors are quickly within a metre of the line following the line-out and it’s Cian Prendergast who makes the decisive surge over.
Cian’s brother Sam makes the conversion and Ireland move ahead.
11:19am
9 mins: Australia 5 Ireland 0
Ireland nearly find an instant response as they get into the Australia 22 before the ball runs loose just in front of the line but the hosts manage to parry the ball behind.
A few moments later and Australia win a foul at the breakdown but the attack eventually comes to an end with an Irish turnover.
11:15am
TRY! Pietsch gives hosts dream start
Australia 5 Ireland 0 (Pietsch) Australia have an early lead!
The home side drive to within a couple of metres of the line before shifting the ball out to the right flank with some really slick passing and Pietsch crosses with ease in the corner.
Gordon misses the conversion from out wide.
11:13am
3 mins: Australia 0 Ireland 0
The match starts with an exchange of kicks from either side and comes to an end with Gordon sending a big one a long way down the field and into touch down Australia’s right.
The home side turn it over following Ireland’s line-out and are quickly into the visitors’ 22.
11:11am
1 min: Australia 0 Ireland 0
We are underway in Sydney, with Ireland kicking things off going from right to left in the opening period.

‘Australia have to stay aggressive and strong’, says Schmidt
Australia head coach Joe Schmidt on ITV Sport: “It is an opposition I know really well and have a lot of respect for.
“That respect, I think it is mutual. I would like to think we can turn up today and put on our best performance so far.
“We need to open the game up and play. Ireland may do the same, so we have to work really, really hard.
“The ball could be in play for long moments, and we have to stay as aggressive and strong as we can be.”

Exclusive: Furbank ruled out of South Africa vs England with appendicitis
You must be registered for see images attach
England have suffered a late injury blow before their Nations Championship match against South Africa after full-back George Furbank was taken to hospital with appendicitis, Telegraph Sport understands.
Furbank was in line to start his first Test match in nearly two years but started suffering painful symptoms following Friday’s captain’s run. England have yet to confirm who will fill the No 15 shirt in his absence, but Harlequins playmaker Marcus Smith is the most obvious replacement with Freddie Steward, the other specialist full-back in the squad, carrying an ankle injury.
It is a devastating setback for Furbank, who has suffered wretched luck with injuries since making such a positive impression during the 2024 Six Nations and tour to New Zealand before breaking his arm at the end of that year. He has since suffered recurring calf and knee injuries. A concussion meant he was not available for the start of this year’s Six Nations in which he did not feature.

Farrell on team selection
On Jamie Osborne’s switch to the left wing:“Obviously, he’s been playing really well. He’s a bloody good rugby player in whatever position he’s playing in.
“With how we want to play the game with having our wingers involved, he’s a smart player. He gets that straightaway. Pretty good in the air, good left boot, that all comes into the pot.”
On starting brothers Sam and Cian Prendgerast:“Cian has come a long way in the past 12 months. The learnings he took from the autumn into the start of the Six Nations and how that progressed, I think he’s been outstanding for Connacht.
“Sam, the way he’s handled the last month is a credit to him in regards to taking responsibility for the shirt and his chance to build through the last few games and finish with a big performance in the final (for Leinster), so he’s earned the right.”

Ireland ‘aware of Australia threats’, says Easterby
Ireland coach Simon Easterby expects Australia to try and “impose themselves” in this morning’s fixture in Sydney.
“We’re expecting a side who have probably got a chance to go and lay down a bit of a marker leading into a World Cup year, playing at home for the first time in a while,” Easterby said.
“They are a physical team who will look to try and impose themselves on the opposition.
“It’s something that we’re well aware of, their threats and attack and their ability to attack in a way that can create opportunities.”
10:40am
Farrell on Lowe’s exclusion amid Japan move
Ireland winger James Lowe is absent from the squad, and it is likely to remain that way, according to Andy Farrell, with the New Zealand-born player heavily linked with a move to Tokyo Suntory Sungoliath.
Apart from Johnny Sexton during his two-year spell with Racing 92, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) policy is to only select players who feature for one of the four provinces.
“You know that we’ve held the line with that for many, many years and whatever, but we’ll see how that plays out in the next 12 months,” Farrell said.
“I mean, if we don’t develop someone and bring someone through... I mean, push come to shove, we probably could have brought him out here. But is it the right thing to do to not develop someone and give people a chance?
“I think it’s the right thing to do, to have a look and give people a bit of space to be able to do that. We’ll see how that goes.”

Farrell said that Lowe will be “thoroughly missed” but “we have to move on”.
“Somebody has to step up and take that mantle that James has done over the last number of years, superbly for Ireland.
“But at the same time, it’s the same every campaign, every year. Something happens that takes you by surprise a little bit, and I suppose it’s the same as us missing Caelan Doris on this tour, Ryan Baird on this tour, Paddy McCarthy, all of that.
“That’s just rugby and that’s just life and the stars didn’t align for whatever reason.
“I certainly wish him all the best. I have done. I thanked him for everything that he’s done for Irish rugby.”

What is the Nations Championship and how does it work?
You must be registered for see images attach
On Saturday, rugby’s inaugural Nations Championship begins. It is a global, biennial competition which replaces the summer and autumn Tests.
The theory is that adding structure and a name will deliver greater narrative and formality to matches which had technically always been friendlies, even if they were often far from that.
The championship will take place in even years to avoid clashes with the World Cup and British and Irish Lions tours. Organisers promise that it will “decide the dominant nation and balance of power between the rugby hemispheres, every two years”.
Which teams are competing?
The Six Nations sides – England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Wales – along with the four Rugby Championship countries – Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa – will be joined by Japan and Fiji, two invited nations.
What is the format?
The Six Nations sides are in a European conference with the rest in a SANZAAR and Pacific conference. On Saturdays throughout July and weekends in November, each Six Nations side will play the teams in the other conference once in a round-robin format.
From November 27-29, there will then be a finals weekend at the Allianz Stadium. On the Friday night, the two teams ranked sixth in each conference will play each other for 11th place in the final table; that will be followed by the fifth-placed final for the teams that finished third in their respective conferences. On Saturday, the ninth and third-placed finals will take place, followed by seventh and first (the Grand Final) on Sunday.
The winner of the Grand Final will be crowned the inaugural champion.

Ireland take on Australia in inaugural Nations Championship
Good morning and welcome to Telegraph Sport’s live coverage of Australia vs Ireland from rugby’s inaugural Nations Championship, the new biennial competition in which the six dominant forces from both the northern and southern hemispheres will face off.
Each team will play six round-robin fixtures, coming up against each of the teams from the opposite hemisphere, with three games in July and the other three in November, when the finals weekend will also take place.
For the first leg of matches this month, Andy Farrell’s men have travelled to Australia to face Joe Schmidt’s Wallabies in Sydney and Japan in Newcastle, before their trip to Auckland to face New Zealand.
Ireland come into this new tournament following a second-placed finish in the Six Nations in Spring. Farrell’s men started their campaign with disappointment with a defeat to France, but went on to win their four remaining games, eventually losing out to Fabien Galthié’s side only on bonus points.
Ireland captain Dan Sheehan has said this week that the team must focus on “hitting the ground running”, having also started their most recent autumn campaign with defeat.
“We’re a very diligent group that preps very well,” said Sheehan, who captains Ireland in the injured Caelan Doris’ absence. “Trying to think back to the Six Nations, we hit the ground running in Portugal [in the pre-tournament training camp] and thought we did a great week’s prep, but obviously didn’t give the best version of ourselves on the day in that first game in France.
“We need to make sure the prep is the same, and we have that same feeling, turning over all stones… A big focus has been on us continuing that form from the end of the Six Nations. I think we’ve got the tone of the week right.”
