On Thursday, the south Dublin stadium was the scene of the Republic of Ireland’s stirring 2-0 win over Portugal in qualification for football’s World Cup which was played out amid a crackling atmosphere.
Doris is hoping for a similar cauldron-like environment on Saturday, but accepts that is only generated by what transpires on the pitch.
“The atmosphere was unbelievable and we’ll be looking for something similar, but that comes when there is passion in how they are playing,” said the 27-year-old back row.
“You could just see there was no fear in how they played. They just kept attacking and were quite cohesive in that.
“Through how they played, the knock-on reaction came with the supporters. It’s a late kick-off for us, so hopefully we can get them going with how we play.”
The weather outlook for Dublin leading up to the game does not make for pretty reading with rain forecast from overnight and therefore will likely produce greasy conditions.
Should that transpire, then it will dictate the approach to the game with doing the simple things well and making the most of opportunities crucial, according to the captain.
“Territory becomes more important, discipline becomes more important, set-piece becomes more important, scoreboard pressure and taking points early, but also the mindset around getting stuck in and enjoying it,” Doris added.
“The way Australia play, they have the ability with their backs to swing together and take opportunities, but also they play similar to France with that tightish game with their forwards pop passing from the breakdown.
“Regardless of the weather, it’s going to be a big focus point for our defence we need to get right.”
