What to expect
This is the fifth round of the Nations Championship’s first season. Ireland sit third in their group behind New Zealand and France, with a points difference more than 40 behind both. A 42–12 win over Argentina last weekend was encouraging, but injuries have hit key players, Tadhg Beirne, Joe McCarthy and Sam Prendergast are expected to carry extra leadership load.
Fiji have lost all four matches, scoring just 17 points against France, most of them after the 60th minute. They trail Australia, Argentina and Japan in the standings and need a win in Dublin before facing Italy next weekend. The tournament runs through November 2026. The final is scheduled for December 5.
