Ireland beat Fiji 43-15 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in the Nations Championship, scoring 26 unanswered second-half points after a close first half in which they led only 17-15 at the break. Former South Africa coach Jake White, now Fiji's coach, said his side "did Ireland a favour" before Ireland face the Springboks in Dublin next week, when the back-to-back world champions beat Ireland 24-13 last year. White said Fiji had played a little like South Africa, letting Ireland have the ball, and criticised his side for taking a tap penalty instead of a scrum in the second half, arguing South Africa would have pressed for a yellow card. Ireland coach Andy Farrell said the scoreline flattered his side and that the team had learned useful lessons. Earlier, France beat South Africa 21-19 at the Stade de France, keeping them in a strong position to top the northern hemisphere standings.
