Ireland picked up their second win of this year's Autumn Nations Series.

Andy Farrell's men looked impressive as they beat an ill-disciplined Fiji by 52 points to 17 at the Aviva Stadium last night.

Gus McCarthy crossed over for a try on his debut while Sam Prendergast kicked 5 conversions in his first start at out half.

Despite the win, Ireland will not return to the top of the World Rankings.

Current number 1 team South Africa had no trouble in handing another defeat to Wales, this time by 45 points to 12 in Cardiff.

That leaves Warren Gatland's men without a single victory in the whole of 2024.
