Ireland’s tour to Australia in July will not go ahead as scheduled following the postponement of all international fixtures by World Rugby.
Andy Farrell’s side had been due to face the Wallabies in two Tests on 4 and 11 July at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium and Sydney’s Cricket Ground respectively.
In a statement, IRFU performance director David Nucifora said: “While it is disappointing that the summer tour to Australia will not go ahead as scheduled, it will not be a surprise to many as it is clear that COVID-19 will have implications for our game for some time to come.
