## Summary

Ireland beat Fiji 43-15 in Dublin to keep their hopes of reaching the Nations Championship final alive. The result matters because Ireland remain in contention, but their place in the final depends on both their own next match and results involving France and England.

Ireland led 17-15 at half-time before pulling away after the break, reaching 20 points in the Northern Hemisphere standings, level with England and one behind France. Tommy O’Brien and Robert Baloucoune scored two tries each; Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter and Nick Timoney added one apiece. Ireland must beat South Africa and hope France and England falter to reach the final at Twickenham on 29 November.
