    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.

    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.

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

    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

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

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

    Henshaw off after 4 minutes.

    Disastrous

    Henshaw needed a game. Thats a shame.

    Timoney really fortunate to avoid a yellow there.

    Sloppy start from Ireland.

    Timoney is very luck to not get carded for that.

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

    Brainless and quite dangerous from Timoney there

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

    How many times must Raynal warn Fiji at the lineout ?

    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.

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

    Fiji doing fijian things.


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

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

    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.

    Don't think it was grounded.
