    Lebanon 14-0 Ireland

    Ireland have been very ill-disciplined today.

    Another knock-on gives Lebanon a set restart in a great position.

    Lebanon 14-0 Ireland

    A very high tackle from Jaimin Jollife sees Kanye Kalache go off for a head-injury assessment.

    Lebanon get another penalty but Jollife survives a trip to the bin.

    Overturned, the challenge is successful.

    Everything is coming up Lebanon at the moment.

    Kayne Kalechi gives Ireland half a chance knocking on to give them a penalty.

    But Lebanon issue a captain's challenge...

    Everything that Lebanon are doing well is going through Mitchell Moses. This is one from the training ground and those lying eyes of Moses. It's almost a no-look pass.

    Jacob Kiraz, goal Mitchell Moses

    Disaster for Ireland!

    Jacob Kiraz saved a try earlier, and now he's scored one.

    Khaled Rajeb and Mitchell Moses combine before a no-look pass from Moses sets Kiraz free for an easy try.

    Moses' kick is good and Ireland are in a lot of bother.

    Nope, that's silly!

    On the last play Toby King concedes a needless play, and Lebanon will have a clean set in good territory.

    Right then. What will Ireland do differently?

    They've been a little overly aggressive in defence I'd say.

    It is a super try. You can't say that Lebanon don't deserve that.

    Reece Robinson, goal Mitchell Moses

    What a try!

    This is built on some great work from the forwards with some slick passing under the posts before Lebanon sniff out a gap on the left and shift the ball over to Reece Robinson who slides in.

    Mitchell Moses continues his 100% record with his kick from a tight angle.

    Lebanon 2-0 Ireland

    Another ball steal for Lebanon stops a promising Ireland attack.

    This time Andrew Kazzi picks Liam Byrne's pocket. Ireland need to wake up a little.

    It was a poor one from Liam Byrne. He may face retrospective action for that.

    Both teams are really evenly matched and this could be a day for goal kicking to come to the fore.

    Mitchell Moses

    An early lead in what I expect to be a very close match.

    Mitchell Moses makes no mistake with a chip shot.

    Poor from Ireland's Liam Byrne who hits Khalil Rahme below the knees.

    That'll be a penalty in a good position and Lebanon will kick for goal.

    Ireland have found their way back into this game. For Lebanon a win is a must.

    Ireland still have an opportunity against New Zealand, where they could at least try to stay within a certain number of points.

    Seems that way so far. Ireland continue to win the battle in midfield.

    All Ireland now as a grubber kick through from Luke Keary looks certain to set up a try but Lebanon full-back Jacob Kiraz does brilliantly to intercept.

    A try-saver.

    James Bentley is complaining about something. He does not look too happy.

    Oh that is a waste. Ireland take the ball to within 10 metres but on the final tackle they concede a needless penalty.

    Nobody said this game would be easy...
