Ireland 'won't get into arm wrestle' with Fiji
Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey says Andy Farrell's side will not be drawn into an arm wrestle with Fiji in Saturday's Nations Championship game in Dublin.
Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey is confident his team will avoid an arm wrestle with Fiji in their upcoming Nations Championship match in Dublin. Ireland has dominated the competition so far, winning three of their four games, including a recent 42-12 victory over Argentina. However, Fiji has struggled, losing their only match 54-17 to France.
McCloskey expects a tough physical contest, but hopes the weather will favor Ireland's structured play and limit Fiji's ability to move the ball. McCloskey praised his partnership with Robbie Henshaw, noting they connected well against France last weekend and have worked together for over a decade. He emphasized Ireland's focus on structure over brute force to outplay their opponents.
