We're underway here at Aviva Stadium.
Neither of these two sides managed to qualify for Qatar 2022 and so this clash will be viewed as a chance to build.
Ireland finished third in Group A of the European Qualifiers for the World Cup behind Serbia and Portugal. They also finished third in their Nations League group - League B Group 1 - behind Scotland and Ukraine.
Norway didn't fare much better, finishing third in Group G of the European Qualifiers for the World Cup behind the Netherlands and Turkey. But they did finish second in their Nations League group - League B Group 4 - behind only Serbia.
Hello and welcome to the live text commentary of the Republic of Ireland's friendly with Norway at Aviva Stadium.
Ireland have made four changes from the side that beat Armenia 3-2. Browne replaces Brady at wing-back, Cullen and O'Dowda come in for Hendrick and Jason Knight in midfield and Obafemi replaces Parrott at centre-forward.
Norway have made seven changes from the team that lost 2-0 to Serbia. Holmgren Person, Strandberg and Bjorkan replace Ryerson, Andreas Hanche-Olsen and Meling in defence, Berg and Thorsby come in for Sander Berge and Fredrik Aursnes in midfield and Strand Larsen and Solbakken replace Alexander Sorloth and Erling Haaland up front.
The challenge for Ireland in this second half is to raise a flat crowd and take the game to Norway. So far they've looked rather toothless in the final third, lacking the kind of cutting edge that can open opposing teams up.
Thanks for joining the live text commentary for this game. Until next time, goodbye.
Ireland travel to Malta on Sunday in their final friendly before the Qatar World Cup. Norway host Finland the same day.
