The Wallabies will have to win in Sydney to seal their three-Test series against Ireland, with the visitors levelling in a dominant 26-21 victory at Melbourne’s AAMI Park.

The victory broke a 39-year drought for Ireland, who last beat the Wallabies on Australia soil in 1979 in Sydney.

The Six Nations champions made eight changes to the team after their first-Test loss, with five-eighth Johnny Sexton returning to partner star halfback Conor Murray and orchestrate the victory.
