Ireland will tackle South Africa and Australia in next year's November Tests, the Irish Rugby Football Union announced on Friday.
Joe Schmidt's side will meet South Africa, the world's second-ranked side behind New Zealand, at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on November 8 and will face off against Australia at the same venue on November 22.
In between, they will play a "leading European Tier 2 nation", most probably Georgia, on November 15.
Ireland had a mixed experience in this year's November Tests, comfortably beating Samoa 40-9 but losing 32-15 to Australia and then going down to an agonising 24-22 defeat against New Zealand.
