'Pretty underwhelming' — Farrell unimpressed by 'poor' Ireland's win over Fiji

ASSESSMENT: Ireland head coach Andy Farrell before the Autumn International match at the Aviva Stadium. 

Andy Farrell pulled no punches with his assessment of Ireland’s performance in making hard work of defeating 14-man Fiji 35-17 at Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

Head coach Farrell had made nine changes and one positional switch to the team which had started the previous week’s 19-16 win over world champions South Africa to kick off the November homestand in Dublin. Ireland did continue their winning run this autumn and have a chance to close out a highly successful 2022 with another victory when Australia visit the Aviva next Saturday.
