The Irish rugby squad step up preparations today for this weekend’s test meeting with Australia at the Aviva Stadium.

Mack Hansen and Darragh Murray linked up with the squad yesterday, with Hansen having made good progress with a foot injury.

But Leinster’s Jamie Osbourne has been ruled out of the rest of the series with a shoulder problem.
