Ireland Rugby continues its summer tour of mainland Europe and will take on Portugal this week at Estadio Nacional near Lisbon. 

In spite of a much-publicized No. 10 debate, the Irish took care of Georgia last week, thoroughly defeating the Lelos in Tbilisi.

Portugal hasn't played an international test since March, but, Os Lobos made it to the semifinals of The Rugby Europe Championship, losing to Romania in the third-place match. 

Now, they'll host an Ireland squad that, for now, has Jack Crowley starting at fly-half. 

Here's everything to know as Portugal takes on Ireland, including lineups and kickoff time:
