81’
Full Time
FULL-TIME: SOUTH AFRICA 27-20 IRELAND. It was too close for comfort at the end, but South Africa led from the early minutes of the game, when Kurt-Lee Arendse scored a try, and asserted their status as the world's best side.
80’
Try
TRY, IRELAND, BAIRD! 27-20: Lowe pulls a couple of defenders in before giving the decisive pass out wide for Baird to finish! The conversion is missed.
78’
Try
PENALTY TRY, SOUTH AFRICA! 27-15: Fine work from the scrum as the Boks force the penalty try and Kelleher gets a yellow card.
76’

CONVERSION, IRELAND, CROWLEY! 20-15

Try
TRY, IRELAND, MURRAY! 20-13: Kelleher bursts through a gap in the defence and gives the ball off to Murray for the finish right under the posts!

76’
Commentary
Doris tries to go over for the try but is held up just short and can't stretch over.
74’
Yellow Card
YELLOW CARD, SOUTH AFRICA, ARENDSE! Arendse goes to the sin-bin with Ireland piling on the pressure, seeking a way back into the game.
67’
Conversion
CONVERSION, SOUTH AFRICA, POLLARD! 20-8: Pollard finds his kicking boots again as he converts from out wide.
65’
Try
TRY, SOUTH AFRICA, KOLBE! 18-8: Kolbe capitalises after Lowe keeps the ball in play, allowing the winger to get hold of it with few bodies in place to stop the ensuing charge. Kolbe kicks into space, evades two sliding Irish bodies and goes over for the try!
63’
Commentary
Great work from Casey to force the 50-22 with a superb kick.
Advertisement
60’
Commentary
Pollard goes for posts from the ensuing penalty, but pulls that one well wide.
59’
Commentary
TRY DISALLOWED! Ireland hold firm through a lengthy spell of Springbok pressure. Then, after Kriel is tackled, some strong counter-rucking sees them win the turnover. The ball is swung wide by Casey to Lowe and he's away, but after a TMO check, the try is disallowed for an infringement at the breakdown!
54’
Commentary
Porter goes off, seemingly nursing a minor injury, and is replaced by Healy.
49’
Commentary
Chance for the Springboks as they close in on the try line yet again. Kriel is tackled but offloads for Arendse, who can't quite gather as he lets the pass slip. It was a difficult one for him to catch undoubtedly.
47’
Commentary
Early penalty for Pollard to try convert from under the posts, but he surprisingly pushes wide.

41’
Kick Off
KICK-OFF! The second half is underway.
41’
Half Time
HALF-TIME: SOUTH AFRICA 13-8 IRELAND. The Boks lead at the break. It's been a closely fought contest but the Boks are clearly on top.
40’
Commentary
Pollard has a shot at posts from a penalty but pushes this one wide -- his first miss of the evening.
37’
Commentary
The conversion attempt is missed.
36’
Try
TRY, IRELAND, OSBORNE! 13-8: Ireland go over in the corner as Osborne collects the inside pass and scores!
Advertisement
32’
Commentary
Golden opportunity for Ireland to get back within touching distance as Mbonambi is penalised at the ruck. However, the kick from Crowley goes wide of posts.
29’
Penalty
PENALTY, SOUTH AFRICA, POLLARD! 13-3: Never in doubt!
28’
Commentary
The Boks are on the front foot as we head towards the half-hour mark. Porter goes off his feet before making a tackle and gives away a penalty. This is very kickable.
21’
Commentary
Crowley goes for the up-and-under inside his own half. Ireland knock on and Arendse gets the ball, but is bundled into touch.
18’
Penalty
PENALTY, SOUTH AFRICA, POLLARD! 10-3: McCarthy gives away a penalty for failing to roll away and Pollard steps up to the tee to extend the lead back to seven points from in front of the posts.

13’
Penalty
PENALTY, IRELAND, CROWLEY! 7-3: Ireland force a penalty at the breakdown and get on the board off the tee through a solid kick from Crowley.
7’
Commentary
Ireland enjoy a spell on the front foot and Sheehan goes for a tap-and-go from a penalty around five yards out. The Boks defence holds firm as the ball goes through the phases and eventually, there's a knock-on at the breakdown. It appeared to be from McCarthy. There's a bit of handbags between the teams as the Boks get the scrum.
4’
Conversion
CONVERSION, SOUTH AFRICA, POLLARD! 7-0: Pollard gets off to a fine start as he extends the Boks' lead.
3’
Try
TRY, SOUTH AFRICA, ARENDSE! 5-0: The Springboks work the ball out left through the likes of Kriel and Kolisi for Arendse, who effortlessly steps inside two would-be tacklers to go over for the first try of the game!
