Match thread for today's game.

12:42 pm and Heaslip has made his first roast dinner joke about Furlong. "First man to the buffet" can't be far away.

Jack Conan has a heavily strapped ankle and is limping noticeably on it already.

12-11-2022 01:50PM

Baloucoune hat-trick incoming.

Larbre34 · 12-11-2022 01:53PM

Score predictions?

37-12.

12-11-2022 02:02PM

I don't think I'd picked up before this that Levani Botia, the La Rochelle inside centre is playing openside this afternoon for Fiji.

Larbre34 · 12-11-2022 02:03PM

Hansen has superb presence of mind in contact, never stops playing for an instant. Brilliant.

12-11-2022 02:04PM

Sublime early take from Mack after a pretty poor kick from Joey.

Two poor kicks from JGP and Joey to start us off.

Timoney did really poorly there as well not to clear that jackalling player.

Pretty sure he has always been able to play both positions

Clegg · 12-11-2022 02:04PM

Hansen did well to catch that. It wasn't a great kick and he didn't get much chance to run onto it.

Clegg · 12-11-2022 02:06PM

Farrell will be fuming with that. Far too much space left out wide.

12-11-2022 02:06PM

Well well. Interesting. Let’s see the reaction

Clegg · 12-11-2022 02:07PM

Henshaw off after 4 minutes.

Disastrous

Larbre34 · 12-11-2022 02:08PM

Henshaw needed a game. Thats a shame.

12-11-2022 02:11PM

Timoney really fortunate to avoid a yellow there.

Sloppy start from Ireland.

Clegg · 12-11-2022 02:12PM

Timoney is very luck to not get carded for that.

Faugheen · 12-11-2022 02:12PM

Timoney very lucky to get away with just a penalty imo.

12-11-2022 02:12PM

Brainless and quite dangerous from Timoney there

starkid · 12-11-2022 02:15PM

absolute rubbish from Ireland

Clegg · 12-11-2022 02:16PM

JOB did well to hold onto that tackle after Baloucone and Carbery fell off their hits.

accensi0n · 12-11-2022 02:16PM

Heaslip is awful.

Strumms · 12-11-2022 02:17PM

How many times must Raynal warn Fiji at the lineout ?

Faugheen · 12-11-2022 02:18PM

'MoVe RiNgRoSe To ThE wInG'

12-11-2022 02:19PM

Some good carries in that sequence from Timoney, Furlong and Treadwell, but thought we were fortunate. Fijians probably should have had a penalty after Loughman's carry, he looked isolated.

Clegg · 12-11-2022 02:19PM

Some good play there. Forwards running onto the ball every time and making metres after contact.

lawrencesummers · 12-11-2022 02:22PM

Fiji doing fijian things.

Their lack of structure and accuracy around set piece is was and always will be their problem.

12-11-2022 02:22PM

We should maul over them here if we win this clearly; maul has Fiji in huge trouble early.

joedamuss · 12-11-2022 02:23PM

Treadwell is playing well

Strumms · 12-11-2022 02:23PM

Maul get pulled down again but a very blatant tackle off the ball too..

cards needed

12-11-2022 02:24PM

Multiple penalties from the Fijians now in their 22; yellow surely incoming.

Great finish from Treadwell, who has started really well here. EDIT: Spoke too soon, looks held up.

If no try, should be a Fiji yellow.

Clegg · 12-11-2022 02:24PM

Don't think it was grounded.

lawrencesummers · 12-11-2022 02:24PM

Threadwell held up
