  1. Jamaica 2-18 Ireland

    Jamaica have really ramped things up at the start of the second half. If they score next it could be interesting.

  2. Jamaica 2-18 Ireland

    Was Jamaica's Ashton Golding stripped of the ball there? Or was it a knock-on?

    The referee goes for the former but Ireland incorrectly disagree and waste their captain's challenge in the process.

  3. Jamaica 2-18 Ireland

    Big chance for Ireland who have numbers out right. Ed Chamberlain goes through the gap but the Leigh Centurions winger just looses the ball as he appears to be deciding who to offload to.

    Was he overthinking that?

    Former England international half-back on BBC Two

    There's been so much to like from this Irish side. You have to feel a little sorry for Jamaica as they can't get any momentum through the middle of this field.

  5. Jamaica 2-18 Ireland

    Ireland get right up the pitch with their first set of six after the break. The Jamaica players must be sick of fielding the ball so close to their own try line.

  6. Kick-off

    Right, the players are back out. Here we go again.

    All-rounder: Guts in defence from Jamaica but, at half-time, in Leeds, they trail Ireland 2-18. Great to hear the Jamaicans have four players in their squad from the country's domestic Rugby League competition.

    It's Ireland's defence who have won this game so far. In international rugby it's what you do without the ball.

    I also think Ireland have left about 18 points out there.

    Former Great Britain captain on BBC Two

    Ireland have been too quick for Jamaica. The speed of the game is too quick for them. That's the next stage to their understanding of international rugby.

    Jamaica captain Ashton Golding: "It was going against us, you take points when you get them.

    "We just need to tighten up a little bit."

  14. Watch: Italy complete stunning win over Scotland

    Scotland 4-28 Italy

    Now then if you missed it earlier Italy got under way in style against a disappointing Scotland, sticking 28 points on the board.

    Listen to that roar. Jamaica have points.

  16. Jamaica 2-18 Ireland

    The half-time hooter goes as Jamaica get a penalty for offside.

    here'll have to go for goal here. Kieran Rush plops the ball down and then knocks over Jamaica's first World Cup points ever.

  17. Jamaica 0-18 Ireland

    Ireland should be in again but Richie Myler runs ahead of Luke Keary and then drops his clearly-forward pass.

    Kevin Brown
    Former England international half-back on BBC Two

    The first 35 minutes it's been an absolute pleasure to watch Luke Keary.

    He waits before putting his foot on the throat and exposing this tired Jamaican defence.

  19. Jamaica 0-18 Ireland

    Woodwork again. Ed Chamberlain hasn't quite found his range with his boot yet so there are no extras.

    TRY - Jamaica 0-18

    Ed Chamberlain

    Sensational play from Luke Keary. The Sydney Roosters stand-off drifts across the Jamaica defence before finding a tiny gap and delivering a wonderful one-hand pass.

    James Bentley has nowt really to do other than pop the ball wide to Ed Chamberlain who has a walkover in the right corner.
