Ireland Overwhelms Fiji with Dominant 52-17 Rugby Victory

The hosts ran in eight tries, showcasing promising young talent and capitalizing on Fiji's discipline issues.

  • Ireland secured their first back-to-back wins since February with a commanding performance against Fiji in Dublin.
  • The team scored eight tries, with standout contributions from debutant Gus McCarthy and fly-half Sam Prendergast, who converted five kicks and set up a try with a cross-field kick.
  • Fiji's 17 penalties, including 11 in the first half, undermined their efforts, allowing Ireland to dominate possession and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
  • Man of the match Bundee Aki and Mack Hansen were among the key players, with Hansen scoring twice to highlight Ireland's attacking flair.
  • Coach Andy Farrell made seven changes to rejuvenate the squad after inconsistent performances against New Zealand and Argentina, with the team now preparing to face Australia next Saturday.
