    "Ireland have let Australia get right back in here and score some tries and now they're in the lead.

    "It's a real coaching conundrum approaching half-time as how do you put your finger on what's gone wrong?"

  3. Penalty

    And here come Australia again.

    Lethal stuff from the Wallabies, with Matt Toomua's offload creating havoc, and Ireland go offside as they defend desperately.

    Up steps Bernard Foley... and over goes the simple kick.

  4. Denis Hickie
    Former Ireland international on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    "Classic Aussie try.

    "Great bit of individual skill, very close-quarter passing in tight spaces. Quick recycling and guys running off shoulders.

    "A great team try."

  5. Get involved

    Jonathan Chase: Some absolutely mad offloads from Australia, that try was a cracker. As an England fan, I'm officially worried

    Paul Clarkson: This is going from bad to worse

  6. Tom Fordyce
    Chief sports writer at the Millennium Stadium

    "Grey clouds now over Cardiff after the early afternoon sunshine, and a realism among the home support. When Wales last beat the All Blacks, Britain was yet to build its first motorway, Elvis was yet to release his debut single and rationing was still in place across the UK. You can understand the muted levels of expectation."

  7. Wales actually won three of their first four meetings with New Zealand. Since then it has been relentless one-way traffic from the All Black juggernaut.

    Since Wales' 13-8 win in Cardiff in December 1953, The All Blacks have won the next 25 meetings.

  8. Try

    Nick PhippsAP

    Tremendous passing from Australia, poor tackling from Ireland and all of a sudden Australia scrum-half Nick Phipps is racing over for his second try of the game.

    Bernard Foley provides the final pass but cannot convert, so we're locked together at the Aviva Stadium.

    Big Mike's back with Wales v New Zealand build-up by the way... do your best to ignore him. Or not. Whatever.

  9. Get involved

    Megan Pierce: Of course it was forward! 12 times it was replayed 12 times which show just how forward it wa. Such a bad decision

    Adam Heayberd: Surely that was a forward pass??? How did the referee not see that?? Is he Australian or something??

    Rob Ralphs: is it opposite day? #ClearlyForward #IrevAus #IRS2014

  10. Michael 'the human mole' Hooper burrows his way into a ruck to win his first turnover of the game and enable Australia to release the pressure.

  11. HUGE forward pass from Johnny Sexton in the build-up to an Irish attack, but less discontent from the crowd as it is not picked up by the officials.

    I cannot imagine why.

    "A fantastic tackle from Rob Kearney in the corner there for Ireland to deny Australia a try.

    "But, the Wallabies kept it going though and were able to maintain the momentum.

    "In the tackle Foley was just able to roll the ball on to touch the line from what it looks like."

  16. Try

    All right, steady on lads. This is supposed to be northern hemisphere rugby.

    Is this a try? Bernard Foley goes very, very close for Australia if not...

    Is the pass forward though?

    The TMO thinks not and the try is given, although Foley cannot convert.

  17. Denis Hickie
    Former Ireland international on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    "Blink and you miss it.

    "Ireland were almost in behind Australia again there and then Phipps has picked that one out from the gain-line and then he couldn't be caught."

  18. Get involved

    Jonathan Chase: Incredible from Tommy Bowe. Australia had a huge overlap, he did the only thing he could to save the try

  19. Try

    Nick Phipps redemption.

    This time the Wallaby scrum-half picks up and races clear to score after Bernard Foley bats down Simon Zebo's pass on halfway, with Fley converting.

    Dizzying stuff in Dublin.

    Tommy BoweReuters

    "Australia generated incredibly quick ball there.

    "Ireland had one defender - Tommy Bowe - he was able to pick up the long pass there and he read it from miles out, picked it out of the air and ran it in from a whole pitch length out."
