Ireland’s fresh charges have given coach Andy Farrell options to ponder for the autumn rugby closer against Australia after they comfortably handled Fiji 52-17 in Dublin.

Jacob Stockdale, Jamie Osborne, Craig Casey, Ciaran Frawley, Sam Prendergast - and that's just from the back-line - had the Ireland medics working overtime in the Aviva dressing room afterwards.

Ireland immediately go on the attack at the other end and have a lineout inside the Fiji 22 after a ruck infringement. From that penalty, Fiji go wide off the lineout (which was almost overthrown). The athletic Salawa prevented a try with physical defence at the other end and he picks from 15 metres and can't be stopped with a powerful drive.

Ireland produced a flair-filled performance after two under-par displays to trounce Fiji 52-17 in their one-off rugby Test at Lansdowne Road on Saturday for their first back-to-back wins since February.

It's been a while since Ireland had a stress-free game of rugby, but Andy Farrell's side had just that at Aviva Stadium as they made light work of an ill-disciplined Fiji in a 52-17 victory.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell is full of praise for his youthful side after Saturday's eight-try 52-17 victory over Fiji in Dublin.

Ireland scored eight tries to dispatch Fiji 52-17 in their Autumn Nations Series clash at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

A better disciplinary performance from Ireland would have been one of Andy Farrell's key objectives but an early yellow card for fly-half Prendergast, guilty of a cynical no-arms block on Fijian flanker Kitione Salawa,
