Former South Africa coach and Flying Fijians coach Jake White says Fiji may have done Ireland a favor by exposing weaknesses ahead of next week’s clash with the Springboks.
Fiji lost 43–15 in Dublin after staying within two points at half-time. Ireland then scored 26 unanswered points in the second half.
White, who was appointed Fiji coach last month, says Ireland cannot afford another slow start against the back-to-back world champions.
He also criticized the nationa side for choosing a tap penalty instead of a scrum when the match was still in the balance.
White says South Africa would have backed its scrum to pressure Ireland and create scoring chances.
He warns that missed opportunities from five-metre line-outs, scrums and penalties could prove costly against the Springboks.
White adds Fiji looked a lot better than they did last week and they hung on for 60 minutes.
The national side will play Italy this weekend.
