Ireland defeated Fiji 43-15 in a rugby match on November 14, 2026, at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, securing a bonus point in the Nations Championship. Fiji, despite arriving without a win in nine previous meetings against Ireland and coming off a 54-17 loss to France, put up a strong first half, leading 15-17 at halftime due to tries from Josua Tuisova and Peceli Yato. Ireland's wingers, Tommy O'Brien and Robert Baloucoune, each scored two tries to help Ireland dominate the second half. The win keeps Ireland's hopes alive for topping the Northern Hemisphere table, but former South Africa coach Jake White suggested that the match, where Ireland struggled initially, served as a beneficial preparation for their upcoming match against South Africa.
