Let's hope something happens in this half, maybe a try? Is that too much to ask?

Taulupe Faletau is coming on in the second-half for Wales to replace the injured Dan Lydiate.

The flanker played 55 minutes for Bath last Friday after two months out with a knee injury.

A brilliant match, this.

Ireland were in control for the most part, but Australia have wriggled their way back into it.

Australia make a brilliant break forward and they've finally made it into the Ireland 22. 

Dane Haylett-Petty pings the ball north with his boot, and the Wallabies scramble before being held up.

They earn a scrum in a dangerous position but they lose possession. Ireland go on the counter but Paddy Jackson slices out of play.

Wales will be fairly happy. They seem to be in total control.

South Africa are so scrappy and disjointed. Wales are trying different things but it is not a great spectacle. 

Wales flanker Dan Lydiate is being stretchered off the field with what looks like a nasty-looking knee injury.

There was no one around him when it happened, he has just turned and twisted it badly.

Just look at that action areas graphic.

You get the feeling these two teams want to see the end of this year?

The end of a pretty uneventful half.

Not the greatest 40 minutes of rugby.

Plenty of penalties but I am struggling to recall an actual try scoring opportunity, nope not one.

Australia concede a seventh penalty, this time at the scrum, and Ireland kick to touch.

A brilliant maul from Ireland sees the hosts gain some ground. 

Conor Murphy eventually off-loads but the Australia defence stand tall, as Ireland throw away possession with a loose ball.

The Wallabies give away yet another penalty, and yet again Ireland go for the kick and line-out. 

Andrew Trimble, who's been brilliant so far, has some heavy strapping on his ankle and it looks like he's going off. Rob Kearney also hasn't returned from getting a head injury checked out. 

So Ireland are two key backs down in the first half. Australia will have Dean Mumm back from the sin-bin very shortly.

South Africa are toothless in attack. They have got nothing about them. 

They are not causing the Welsh defence any problems.

Wales are just edging possesion, still not much happening in either side's 22.

The Springboks have no direction to their attack, you fancy Wales at this stage.

I don't know much, but I know you should never, ever give Israel Folau space to move. He will mow you down. 

The Australia full-back dashes forward with his lightning feet but he is dispossessed and the danger subsides for Ireland.

Wales are winning the aerial game and their kicking game is a lot better than last week against Japan.

Leigh Halfpenny from 40m and it's good. Four from four for the full-back.

Dave Sommerville: Wales are playing with an urgency they lacked against Australia and Japan - they really look up for this 

First referee Romain Poite is hit by a pass and then one of the South Africans' GPS systems falls out of his shirt.

Modern rugby eh?
