Craig Casey (con Prendergast)
Ireland do go for the maul but Fiji do their best to disrupt it. However, Ireland spy space on the narrow side and Casey acrobatically leaps over his opposite number Peni Matawalu for an NFL-style touchdown.
Sam Prendergast nails the extras from the touchline with a brilliant nudge.

Ireland 14-3 Fiji
A beautiful flat pass from Sam Prendergast sets Josh Van Der Flier through a gaping hole and into the 22. Ireland get quick ball but a big hit from Jiuta Wainaqolo stops Prendergast in his tracks and Jacob Stockdale gets driven into touch.

Another really smartly-executed mini-play from Ireland. Fiji probably a bit guilty of ball-watching and not coming up straight. Ireland's two tries have outsmarted Fiji - it wasn't anything too elaborate.

The collisions have been really, really high, really physical. The Fijians are really up for this, you can see every time they get the ball it's taking two players of Ireland to really put them down.
The boys are really going to be hurting if they are defending and they want to keep the ball in hand as much as possible.

Josh van der Flier (con Casey)
A Robbie Henshaw break brings Ireland within five metres. A desperate Frank Lomani tackle tops him but Fiji are pinged for not rolling away.
Ireland go quick and Caelan Doris unselfishly gives it to his back row partner to barge over. With Prendergast off, Craig Casey pops the simple conversion over.

Ireland 7-0 Fiji
Sam Prendergast has a wry smile as his yellow card will not be upgraded to a red. He will be breathing a sigh of relief and he will return in just over four minutes from now.

Ireland 7-0 Fiji
Jamie Osborne has been standing in for kicking duties in Sam Prendergast's absence and he launches a long clearance to halfway.
Fiji take it quickly but Joe McCarthy strips the ball at the ruck to win an Irish penalty just inside their own half. Osborne sends it deep into opposition half.
