'I was delighted to see the Mexican wave. I don't think we had much to do with it.'
Ireland scored five tries against Fiji. Image: Billy Stickland/INPHO ANDY FARRELL SAID he was happy to see the Mexican wave going around the Aviva Stadium with just over 10 minutes to go in Ireland’s win over Fiji on Saturday.
The Ireland boss was in no mood for making excuses after what he felt was an underwhelming performance against the Fijians. He did point to nine changes to his team making life trickier but stressed that things weren’t up to the standard Ireland have set for themselves. “You know it’s your chance to do something and that attitude can push you to go slightly over that edge, try to do it all yourself rather than collectively,” said Timoney, who scored two tries and was named player of the match.
Among the big characters missing last weekend was captain Johnny Sexton. It’s obvious that Ireland are a very different beast without him involved.
