Ireland overcame Fiji with a 43-15 victory in the Nations Championship at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Despite briefly trailing, Ireland rallied to secure the win.
Robert Baloucoune contributed two tries in the first half for Andy Farrell's side, following early scores from Fiji's Josua Tuisova and Peceli Yato. In the second half, Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter, Tommy O'Brien, and Nick Timoney added further tries, allowing Ireland to pull clear.
This result leaves Ireland level on 20 points with second-placed England in the northern hemisphere standings, just one point behind leaders France. Ireland must now defeat world champions South Africa next Saturday to keep their hopes of reaching the Nations Championship final alive, also relying on France and England faltering in their respective matches.
