Flying Fijians head coach, Vern Cotter is expecting Ireland to give an opportunity to some players who have not played a lot of games this season to test their squad depth ahead of the Rugby World Cup in France next year.

Cotter says they have been working on three main areas including clean and fast ball, improve in defence and be disciplined on their set piece.

Meanwhile, Cotter has made eight changes to his side to face the world's number one team.

The Flying Fijians will take on Ireland at 1am Sunday.
