Ireland's outside back Jamie Osborne says they must be wary of opponents who can create something out of nothing like the Fiji Water Flying Fijians when the two teams clash at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday.

Ireland has never lost to Fiji, but Fiji claimed the scalp of Wales in Cardiff two weeks ago.

Osborne says Fiji is a very good side, and they have a couple of game-breakers in their team and players that can create something out of nothing.

He says they can be hard to prepare for because people don't want to give them anything or any loose ball.

Osborne won his third and fourth caps against New Zealand and Argentina this autumn, having debuted on the tour of South Africa last summer.

Ireland will take on the Flying Fijians at 3.10am Sunday.

In other Test matches, France will take on Uruguay at 8.10am tomorrow, Wales will face the Springboks at 5.40am Sunday, Italy will meet the All Blacks at 8.10am Sunday, the Wallabies will play Scotland at 1.40am Monday and England will face Japan at 4.10am Monday.
