Ireland wrapped up their Autumn Nations Series campaign with a thrilling 13-10 victory over Australia as replacement fly-half Ross Byrne kicked a late, match-winning penalty.
With Johnny Sexton injured, Jack Crowley took on responsibilities from the tee, slotting an early three-pointer before Bernard Foley made it a level game with a penalty of his own.
Crowley then converted Bundee Aki’s second-half try before Australia were back on terms with Jordan Petaia crossing.
A scrum penalty from 45 metres out gave Byrne the chance to edge Ireland ahead and the Leinster man made no mistake as the hosts hung on for a hard-fought win.
As part of a new initiative, Autumn Nations Series have commissioned photographers to attend some of the games each weekend for a different take on the action.
The photos in Dublin were taken by Francis Lucchesi, who has been working as a wedding and lifestyle photographer for almost a decade.
Francis was aiming to capture the emotion of the occasion and as a keen rugby fan wanted to convey the famously vibrant atmosphere at the Aviva Stadium.
