Ireland are expected to issue an injury update on Monday but there will again be plenty of interest regarding Tadhg Furlong’s availability.
The tight-head prop has been struggling with a hamstring injury sustained during the side’s warm weather training in Portugal.
The 32-year-old was at the Aviva Stadium for Ireland’s win over Argentina on Friday but got no closer to the action than watching the warm-up.
With Tom O’Toole having also been absent, Leinsterman Thomas Clarkson made his debut from the bench.
Ireland appeared to come through that 22-19 victory over the Pumas relatively unscathed, although lock Ryan Baird did depart shortly after coming on as a second-half replacement.
For Fiji, former Bristol Bears centre Semi Radradra is suspended following the red card he received against Wales.
