DUBLIN (Reuters) -A dominant Ireland thrashed a disjointed and undisciplined Fiji 52-17 at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, running in eight tries, three of them assisted and one scored by debutant hooker Gus McCarthy.

The Six Nations champions made a stuttering start to their November series, relinquishing a 19-game home unbeaten run to New Zealand before almost giving up a big halftime lead in last week's narrow victory over Argentina.
