Go to commentsThe number of Irish body parts and limbs offside and/or laying about the rucks, or slowing rucks is definitely strategy. Andy Farrell is definitely coaching them to hug the line - despite what he says.
I hope that this area of the game is monitored carefully by Hollie Davidson so that Fiji gets a fair shake and ability to play to their strengths.
Which is fast and wide.
Fiji. 1 solitary point. That's all it takes. Take all the kickable penalties. Punish them out wide.
