Brave Ireland set sights on 2013 as Fiji shatter dream

Ireland 14 Fiji 30

Kelly’s heroes missed out on a dream meeting with Australia at the Sydney Football Stadium after they were beaten 30-14 by the multi-talented Fijians in the semi-final qualifier in front of a crowd of 8,224 at Gold Coast’s Skilled Park.

The 2000 quarter-finalists are confident of being able to go one better next time and, in the meantime, hope their achievements will earn them a call-up to the Tri-Nations Series.
