Ireland v Fiji: Kick-off time, team news and all you need to know as Fiji visit Dublin

Must read

Ireland are expected to issue an injury update on Monday but there will again be plenty of interest regarding Tadhg Furlong’s availability.

The tight-head prop has been struggling with a hamstring injury sustained during the side’s warm weather training in Portugal.

The 32-year-old was at the Aviva Stadium for Ireland’s win over Argentina on Friday but got no closer to the action than watching the warm-up.

With Tom O’Toole having also been absent, Leinsterman Thomas Clarkson made his debut from the bench.

Ireland appeared to come through that 22-19 victory over the Pumas relatively unscathed, although lock Ryan Baird did depart shortly after coming on as a second-half replacement.

For Fiji, former Bristol Bears centre Semi Radradra is suspended following the red card he received against Wales.
