Guinness Series 2009

[An Tarbh]

Ireland will play 4 tests in the Guiness Series 2009. Looks like there'll be 3 matches at Croker with South Africa and Australia already confirmed, while Fiji will also provide opposition most likely to be at Thomond Park while there's a date free on the first weekend, no doubt trying to get the All Blacks to fill that spot.

Ireland v tbc, November 7 or 8

Ireland v Australia, November 14 or 15

Ireland v Fiji, November 21 or 22

Ireland v South Africa, November 28 or 29

Hope we get the All Blacks, Beating all the tri-nations teams in a month would be very nice. And I think we have played Argentina enough recently.

I read (I think in the Irish Times) that the Fiji game will be held in the RDS. I don't know how true it is.

Says that on the IRFU website.

They're saying the first match might be against RSA again except not in Ireland. I read Hong Kong is possible.

yeah the Indo are claiming that it's 90% certain to go ahead in Hong Kong.

Ireland's first match of the Autumn, which was penned in for Hong Kong has been postponed because of the current economic climate according to RTÉ.

Pity, would have been a good warm up before the 3 other games.
