Ireland insist they will afford Fiji the same respect as South Africa and Australia following provocative comments from rival coach Vern Cotter.
New Zealander Cotter claimed the Irish will view Saturday’s Test match as a “training session” and will be “barely looking at” their opponents due to being preoccupied by greater challenges against more-illustrious nations.
The Flying Fijians’ visit to Dublin comes seven days after Ireland toppled the Springboks, with the Wallabies due at the Aviva Stadium next weekend.
