Following a one-point victory over world champions South Africa in July, expectations were high for Ireland heading into the 2024 Autumn Nations Series. However, Andy Farrell’s side were outplayed by New Zealand at the start of the month and last week held on to secure a narrow 22-19 victory over Argentina.
Ireland’s high standards may have slipped slightly but they are the number two ranked nation in the world for a reason. Farrel has plenty of talent to pick from and is starting to hand opportunities to new young talent, including Leinster hooker Gus McCarthy and Ulster's Cormac Izuchukwu.
The Irish will expect to run out comfortable victors but Fiji have shown already on this tour that they can be dangerous. They inflicted a painful defeat on Wales and last week overcame a plucky Spanish side to secure a 33-19 victory.
Renowned for their raw speed and trickery, Fiji have unearthed two world-class players in Caleb Muntz and Simione Kuruvoli, who will undoubtedly cause the Irish plenty of problems.
Every Autumn Series match including Ireland vs Fiji is live on TNT Sports in the UK and can be streamed via Discovery Plus. Ireland matches are also free to view on Virgin Media Player. In Australia you can catch the match live on Stan Sport and rugby fans in the US can tune into all the action on Peacock TV.
