☘️ 26-3 🇫🇯 #IREvFIJ | #AutumnNationsSeries pic.twitter.com/Meg8d5zEEYWhat a try from Ireland as Prendergast punts a lovely crossfield kick into the path of Hansen who gathers and slides over for Ireland ’s fourth try of the game.Tries from Doris, van der Flier and Casey were the other big highlights for Andy Farrell’s side in the first half but there have been some mistakes that they won’t be happy with.
Van der Flier then thunders through a tight gap but Prendergast gets swallowed up to bring the move to a halt. It’s a knock-on against Fiji in the tackle so Craig Casey will put in for the scrum.35 mins ago 3:44PM 25 mins: Ireland 14-3 Fiji Meanwhile, Fiji prop Eroni Mawi has been sin-binned for too many fouls as he pulls an illegal lift on Doris.Ireland go over for a second time after a quick tap which sees Doris feed van der Flier for the touchdown.
Jiuta Wainiqolo makes a great effort there. He stretches with all his might, but the replays show that he’s just short. So unlucky there as Ireland struggle a bit to adapt to the loss of Prendergast.Fiji make a huge play, and the TMO is being called to see if they have a try.And it is indeed a yellow. Prendergast can have no complaints there. His shoulder collided with the face and that’s a pity after opening up well in the early minutes of his first start.
