Andy Farrell will resist the clamour for more fresh faces when Ireland meet Fiji in Dublin this Saturday but he insisted his squad had to keep building and cultivating what it does well following a return to winning ways against Argentina.

Ireland were far from the finished article last Friday night as they rebounded from the previous week’s 23-13 home loss to New Zealand with an inconsistent but at times coherent performance on both sides of the ball to hold off the Pumas 22-19 at Aviva Stadium.
