Furlong: Fiji Are Well Coached, Physical And Direct

Furlong is most-capped member of the starting XV with 61 caps. He is looking forward to leading his country for the first time. Fiji are well-coached and physical. Ireland lost to them in Edinburgh five years ago. Furlon has recovered from an ankle injury picked up against the Springboks. Karl Mullen captained Ireland in 1948 Grand Slam campaign and British & Irish Lions tour. He was also a product of New Ross Rugby Club. The 29-year-old tighthead was chosen as captain by Andy Farrell. It's not something he ever thought he would do.
