    Louis Senior intercepts but a wall of Lebanon defenders then tackle him over the sideline.

    Lebanon will get the ball back inside five metres.

    It was Ireland's Toby King who demanded the referee stopped the action.

    Kiraz ended up knocking his head against an Irish player's knee. Thankfully he's helped off the field and I imagine that's the last we'll see of him today.

    When an opposition player puts his arm up you know someone is in some kind of trouble.

    The referee has no option to give the penalty and put Liam Byrne in the sin bin. Lebanon will take two here and it takes the sting out of the game.

    Oh that is a late tackle!

    Liam Byrne smashes into Mitchell Moses well after the Lebanon player has kicked the ball away.

    Ireland's Byrne gets a yellow and will be off for the final 10 minutes of this match.

    It will be a huge ask for the Irish to beat New Zealand, the number one ranked team in the tournament.

    If Lebanon can hang on, they'll be in pole position to qualify for the last eight alongside New Zealand.

    The Cedars would be expected to beat Jamaica in their final game, meaning Ireland would need to beat the Kiwis, who are top of the world rankings, in their last group game.

    Ireland are running out of ideas and energy.

    An inventive Ireland chance falls to Frankie Halton who tries to chase down his own rubber but Lebanon full-back Jacob Kiraz sweeps up to bat the ball behind.

    Kiraz has looked so classy today.

    It's a scrappy midfield battle now. This suits Lebanon.

    All Lebanon now as Khalil Rahme chases down a grubber to score. But he was offside from Mitchell Moses' initial kick and the referee waves it off. This could get ugly for Ireland.

    It is a super try and the skill from the full-back Jacob Kiraz is worth looking at. He had a nanosecond to catch the ball and make the pass.

    Abbas Miski

    Easy as you like. Lebanon produce a good set play which sees Jacob Kiraz feeding Abbas Miski who is free on the wing to go over.

    Mitchell Moses misses the extras. He is human!

    Have Lebanon gone over in the corner again? I reckon so.
