Ireland's rugby team, coached by Andy Farrell, is set to begin its Nations Championship campaign this month with a series of high-profile fixtures. The side will face Argentina and Fiji before renewing their rivalry with world champions South Africa.
The matches come as part of Ireland's preparation for the new Nations Championship format. Farrell's squad will look to build momentum against the Pumas and Fiji before a highly anticipated clash with the Springboks, rekindling a fierce competitive history between the two nations.
BBC Sport NI senior journalist Matt Gault reports that the November window provides a critical test for Ireland's depth and tactical evolution ahead of the championship proper.
