Fiji's coach claims Ireland player should have been red-carded, citing bias in refereeing.

Fiji's coach Mick Byrne claimed that Ireland's Sam Prendergast, who received a yellow card for a shoulder charge in the eighth minute, should have been sent off. The match ended with a 52-17 defeat for Fiji. Byrne suggested the decision was influenced by Prendergast playing for the home team. Ireland's coach Andy Farrell believed the yellow card was "harsh enough." Despite the early penalty, Prendergast contributed significantly to Ireland's performance, setting up a try and converting seven kicks.
