    TRY - Jamaica 2-38 Irelandpublished at 72 mins

    James McDonnell

    Richie Myler gives it the old-handed tease as he dances across Jamaica's defensive line before zipping the ball wide for Ed Chamberlain.

    The Leigh Centurions winger pops it back inside to a man he knows well and James McDonnell rolls over for another Irish try.

    The bench that have come on for Ireland have been fantastic. They've got squad depth too which is crucial as you go further into this competition.

    They might have laboured tonight but it's a real success story for Jamaican rugby league just to be here.

    Jamaica put the ball through hands as they creep up towards the Ireland line but Kieran Rush's grubber kick is easily picked off by the Irish defence.

    Jamaica total metres gain = 683.

    Ireland total metres gain = 1601.

    This statistic pretty much sums up this contest so far.

    There were six or seven green shirts on four or five Jamaicans.

    Jamaica's aggressive defence is getting picked apart.

    Joe Keyes knocks over the kick. That's probably the hardest one of the night but it sails over.

    Louis Senior

    Another well-worked try. The zip has just gone out of the Jamaica defence who are slow out of the line.

    They've taken superstar Luke Keary off. That's the right move, give him a rest. He's done his job.

    Ireland are in again as Liam Byrne breaks the line down the middle. Josh Cook looks to be going in under the sticks but Alex Young is over to make a brilliant try-saving tackle.

    Everybody turns up, it doesn't always look pretty. But that kick from Toby King is just perfect.

    Joe Keyes is royally booed as he knocks over the conversion. All tongue in cheek of course.

    Toby King

    What. A. Try. Talk about improvisation. Innes Senior is stopped in his tracks out wide but Luke Keary takes over before Harry Rushton dinks a kick in for Toby King to convert.

    Jamaica had put Ireland back in their own in-goal area with the kick on their fifth tackle.

    Heartbreak for Jamaica.

    It's Luke Keary again who starts it with quick play. What a game he is having.

    Richie Myler picks a ball up off his laces and whips a pass left to Innes Senior who has a walk-in try at the corner. Heartbreak for Jamaica.

    This is better from Jamaica. They're showing evidence that they might go on and turn this game into a contest.

    Oh my what is Ashton Golding doing?

    The Jamaica skipper couldn't have heard the klaxon giving his side a repeat set of six and he kicks possession away with his team in good field position.
