Hi Mark, I'm an AB's & Wallaby supporter but follow the Irish team with interest. You are probably the most balanced Irish commentator across all the media I watch. Fiji are very dangerous. NH may not be aware of the last Super rugby season and the Pacifica teams but Suva was a grave yard for many top Super teams teams. They can now, when motivated put that form on the road. I played against a Fiji team in NZ twice a season for a few years, if we didn't have a lead in the first 30 minutes then its was going to be a long hard day, chances are we didn't win. Fiji may not win but could soften up Ireland for Australia. You never come away from a Fiji game in good shape. Your Fiji player name pronunciation was courageous.
@coops4549 Thanks for the insight. You're right, the Drua have been very competitive and that's really boosted the test team. Add in those playing in France and it's a formidable squad.
Mark, I'm excited to see Eroni Mawi, Luke Tagi, Tevita Ikanivere in the line up. These are the same players who played against England in 2023 and against Australia in the World Cup as well. Love your analysis of a good Irish team. Will be an exciting match.
Pleased to hear you pronounced the names of Fijian players exceptionally well.

Great video as always Mark, hope for the sake of these younger players that we get a win.
@MrRemixaz Yes, it would be a big boost for those young guys if they can win but quite the opposite if they lose.

@amazingproduct3931 They played very well in those games too.
If they do well they should be rewarded with a start in the next game 😊
@michaelshanahan4042 Hopefully that's the case.
