There is still much for Ireland to put right after a couple of inconsistent November performances but Caelan Doris believes fixing his side’s current disciplinary issues can go a long way to making that happen against Fiji on Saturday afternoon.

Having conceded 13 penalties to both New Zealand in a 23-13 defeat and Argentina in a 22-19 victory on consecutive Friday nights at Aviva Stadium, reducing the count to single figures is top of the priority list for Andy Farrell’s much-changed Ireland team in this third game of the Autumn Nations Series.
