Watch Ireland v Fiji Under-20s World Championship live stream here amid tragedy

Ireland look to capitalise on their second round win over Australia when they face the Fijians in South Africa.

The Irish drew their opening match 34-34 against England, and currently sit second place in their pool, with England ahead on points difference after they hammered Fiji 53-7.

The match will be played amid a sombre backdrop after former Scotland international Greig Oliver passed away. Oliver's son Jack is representing Ireland and was initially named amongst the replacements for the Fiji clash.

Father Oliver died in a tragic accident whilst paragliding in South Africa. He was out there with family supporting Jack.

A moment's silence will be held in all of today's matches as a mark of respect.

It is unclear as of yet whether Jack will be involved in the game, but it's likely he will be replaced on the replacements bench.
