Ireland player ratings against Fiji: Aki and Casey the standouts

Ireland scored eight tries as they beat Fiji in the Autumn Nations Series in Dublin in their best outing so far in November.

The 52-17 scoreline didn't flatter the hosts, who showed much improved discipline against the Fijians.

Here's how we rated the players.

15. Jamie Osborne – 6.5

The full-back looked assured in the backfield and cleared well but his day was cut short after suffering a leg injury in the 27th minute. Beat a defender in one of five carries.

14. Mack Hansen - 7.5

Shows great judgement under high balls, consolidating well. Went looking for work off his wing and finished his two tries well. Carried nine times for 63 metres. Now has 12 international tries.

13. Robbie Henshaw - 7.5

Really lively first half from the Leinster centre, who beat seven defenders in that period. Unlucky not to have made the line. Was withdrawn early enough in the second half but has made his claim for a start against Australia.

12. Bundee Aki - 8.5

After being left out last week, Aki played like a man out to make a point with some ferocious tackles against much bigger men. Constantly gave Ireland front-foot ball, could have had two tries but had to settle for one. Had 17 carries in total and won a turnover.

11. Jacob Stockdale - 7.5

Would have provided Andy Farrell with exactly what he wanted, coming off his wing to get involved and injecting pace to the backline. Beat four defenders from 10 carries over 69 metres. Very unfortunate to come with a hamstring injury ten minutes into the second half.

10. Sam Prendergast – 7

Has to be marked down for his yellow card, which, on another day, could have been upgraded. The good parts were good and the bad parts were bad. Showed some lovely touches and set up Hansen for his first try. Kicked
