Ireland pull away after halftime to beat Fiji 43-15

Ireland beat Fiji 43-15 in Dublin, earning a bonus point and keeping their hopes of topping the Nations Championship northern hemisphere table alive. After a scrappy first half in which tries from Josua Tuisova and Peceli Yato helped Fiji stay close, Ireland led 17-15 before scoring 26 unanswered points after the break. Tommy O’Brien scored twice, with Rob Baloucoune also crossing twice; Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter and Nick Timoney added tries. The win came despite handling errors and discipline concerns, though Ireland’s scrum was a bright spot. Ireland now turn to next week’s match against world champions South Africa, while Fiji remain without a point in the competition.
