What time and TV channel is Ireland v Australia on today in the U20 Rugby World Cup

Ireland take on Australia this afternoon in the second group game of the U20 Rugby World Cup.

The boys in green began their tournament with a draw against England last weekend. Having trailed 24-15 and then having lead 34-24, a draw was a result that they probably deserved.

Australia on the other hand began their campaign with a decent win over Fiji. A 46-37 victory means the Australians begin round two on top of the table.
