Ireland’s fresh charges have given coach Andy Farrell options to ponder for the autumn rugby closer against Australia after they comfortably handled Fiji 52-17 in Dublin.

Ireland produced a flair-filled performance after two under-par displays to trounce Fiji 52-17 in their one-off rugby Test at Lansdowne Road on Saturday for their first back-to-back wins since February.

Ireland immediately go on the attack at the other end and have a lineout inside the Fiji 22 after a ruck infringement. From that penalty, Fiji go wide off the lineout (which was almost overthrown). The athletic Salawa prevented a try with physical defence at the other end and he picks from 15 metres and can't be stopped with a powerful drive.

It's been a while since Ireland had a stress-free game of rugby, but Andy Farrell's side had just that at Aviva Stadium as they made light work of an ill-disciplined Fiji in a 52-17 victory.

Jacob Stockdale, Jamie Osborne, Craig Casey, Ciaran Frawley, Sam Prendergast - and that's just from the back-line - had the Ireland medics working overtime in the Aviva dressing room afterwards.

The Autumn Nations Series action continues to roll on as Ireland vs Fiji is next up on the agenda for rugby fans.

Ireland scored eight tries to dispatch Fiji 52-17 in their Autumn Nations Series clash at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

A better disciplinary performance from Ireland would have been one of Andy Farrell's key objectives but an early yellow card for fly-half Prendergast, guilty of a cynical no-arms block on Fijian flanker Kitione Salawa,
