Dublin: Ireland showed character to deny former coach Joe Schmidt a winning return to Lansdowne Road on Saturday by edging Australia 22-19 in a scrappy encounter in their one-off rugby Test.
The hosts outscored the Wallabies three tries to one to give head coach Andy Farrell a victorious farewell before he takes charge of the British & Irish Lions next year.
It also crowned a memorable day for Cian Healy, who became Ireland's most capped player with 134 when he came on as a replacement in what was also a match commemorating Irish Rugby's 150th anniversary.
The Wallabies took the lead when Joe McCarthy was penalised -- but spared a sin-binning -- and Noah Lolesio slotted over the penalty.
The Irish were making elementary handling errors, Australia-born prop Finlay Bealham guilty of two sloppy knock ons.
