Ireland kick-off times for autumn series are revealed

Declan Kidney's side will play four autumn internationals

The dates and kick-off times for Ireland's four autumn international games in November have been revealed.

Each of the fixtures will be played at the new Aviva Stadium, with the current World Cup holders opening the series on 6 November, with a 1730 GMT kick-off.

Samoa will be the visitors to Dublin on 13 November, kick-off 1430 GMT, and Ireland will then play the New Zealand All Blacks on 20 November at 1730 GMT.

The final match against Argentina will kick off at 1430 on Sunday 28 November.

The last autumn international to be played at Lansdowne Road was against the Pacific Islands in November 2006, with most Irish internationals since then being played at Croke Park.

To mark Ireland's first game in the new Aviva Stadium, South Africa has waived its right under the unique rugby tradition where the visiting team wears its home jersey where there is a clash of colours.

This will allow the Ireland team to wear its famous green jersey for the historic fixture.
