No chance of Fiji causing an upset against Ireland
Fiji has met the Irish 4 times starting way back in 1976 where we lost 8-nil at the Buckhurst park and since then they are yet to record a win.
The closest we have come to beat Ireland was in 1985 in their home ground in Lansdowne in Dublin where Fiji lost by 15 points to 16.
Our last two test match we have recorded humiliating results in 1995, Ireland thumped Fiji 44-8 and in 2002 it is our worst ever performance when the national side went down 64-17.
On Sunday morning the Glen Ella coached side will face an Ireland team which is currently the 6 Nation champion, unbeaten in their last 9 games at home and also a clean record against Fiji.
After yesterday 20 all draw against Australia, Ireland coach Declan Kidney is expected to make some changes to his starting line-up bringing in some of his development squad for Sunday game.
Fiji and Ireland game will kick off on Sunday at 5.15am.
