South Africa's last visit to Dublin was in November 2014, when the hosts prevailed 29-15.

"This November's series promises to have some added edge, with recent fixtures against South Africa and Argentina fresh in the memory," said Padraig Power, the IRFU's Commercial and Marketing Director.

"Argentina ended Ireland's Rugby World Cup hopes in October 2015, while the Springbok edged a thrilling Test series last June after Ireland had made history in Newlands.

"Fiji's exciting brand of free-flowing rugby will be showcased for the very first time at the Aviva Stadium as the South Sea Islanders play in Dublin for the first time since 2009."
