The Flying Fijians will be looking to defy all odds when they take on the world number 1 Ireland in the Autumn Nation Series tomorrow.

Fiji has met Ireland four times since 1995 and lost every match.

Fiji's closest encounter against Ireland was when they narrowly lost to Ireland 20-23 during the 2017 Autumn International Test.

Only four players from that team are part of the run on team that will face Ireland, which includes Manasa Saulo, Apisalome Ratuniyarawa, Levani Botia, and Ben Volavola.

Fiji will meet Ireland at 1am tomorrow.
