Ireland v Fiji: Kick-off time, team news and everything you need to know as Fiji travel to Dublin

Ireland are expected to release an injury update on Monday, but Tadhg Furlong’s availability will once again spark plenty of interest.

The right prop is dealing with a hamstring injury sustained during the team’s hot weather training in Portugal.

The 32-year-old was at the Aviva Stadium for Ireland’s win over Argentina on Friday, but he didn’t get close to the action while watching the warm-up.

With Tom O’Toole also missing, Leinsterman Thomas Clarkson made his debut off the bench.

Ireland appeared to emerge relatively unscathed from that 22-19 win over the Pumas, although second row Ryan Baird left shortly after being substituted in the second half.

On the Fiji side, former Bristol Bears center Semi Radradra is suspended following the red card he received against Wales.
