The All Blacks will come to the Aviva Stadium later this year, along with Argentina, Fiji and Australia.

The IRFU have confirmed that ticket details for the Autumn Nations Series will be confirmed ‘in due course’.

However, it is the priority window for IRFU Supporter’s Club members that has caused complaints from some fans.

One fan wrote: “‘Supports club window’ so just Fiji tickets then?”

Another commented: “Tickets will never be available to the general public who would love a chance to see such a great team live.”

A third added: “The general public won’t get a sniff at these tickets.. Just like Leinster Croke Park tickets gone in a couple of hours and that was 30,000 more tickets than the Aviva.”

New Zealand kick off the Series at the Aviva Stadium on November 8.

Lansdowne Road will host Argentina on November 15 and Fiji on November 23 before Australia come to town for the 150th Anniversary Challenge match on November 30.

Head coach Farrell said: “This November’s line-up is a hugely exciting one for the Irish rugby public and we are looking forward to competing against four hugely talented sides.

“There is an added dimension to this year’s Autumn Nations Series, with a fourth match against Australia set to mark the IRFU’s 150th celebrations.

“We look forward to testing ourselves against some of the most exciting teams in the world, with whom Ireland has such strong traditions and rivalries.

“It promises to be a series to remember.”

Meanwhile, this week also saw confirmation that Leinster’s upcoming Champions Cup semi-final at Croke Park will follow GAA rules as regards in-game pints.

The May 4 affair will be the first rugby match held at GAA HQ since 2009.

And tournament organisers have confirmed that Croker’s usual restrictions around buying alcohol will be in place for it.

An EPCR spokesperson said: “EPCR will be respecting the GAA’s rules and regulations regarding alcohol consumption in the stadium bowl for the Investec Champions Cup semi-final between Leinster Rugby and Northampton Saints at Croke Park on May 4.”
