Ireland 21-5 Samoa
Shane Horgan
Former Ireland wing on BBC Radio 5 LiveNic Berry got that perfectly correct. There was a high degree of force direct to the head and the Samoan player wasn't ducking into the tackle. Bundee Aki will play no further part.
So far Robbie Henshaw has looked very rusty in midfield - couple of dropped balls, couple of passes to the deck. He'll have to step up.

Ireland 21-5 Samoa
Ireland are reduced to 14 men as Bundee Aki is sent off for a tackle direct to the head.
He doesn't drop low enough in the tackle and he follows through with a big hit on the Samoa fly-half.
He tries to wrap his arms and it's unfortunate, but there is no mitigation and Aki has to walk.

Shane Horgan
Former Ireland wing on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe responsibility is on the tackler and maybe the other player going to ground is a mitigating factor but it doesn't absolve the tackler of his responsibility. It was high, there's a lot of force there. I think that's a red card.

Ireland 21-5 Samoa
Shane Horgan
Former Ireland wing on BBC Radio 5 LiveThat was a very impressive carry. Wave after wave in the Irish 22 but ultimately Jack Lam should have been stopped, he carried the ball over the top of Rory Best - maybe not quite getting the support from his team-mates. That's something you expect from Samoa.
A little bit of a concentration loss from Ireland. No doubt they're going to score four tries or more but to give up a try really with Samoa's first foray into the 22, the coach won't be happy with that.

Well well.
Samoa roll through the phases and Jack Lam smashes his way to the line.
That was the loudest cheer of the night as the locals realise Ireland are in control, but Henry Taefu misses the conversion.

'Ireland playing the game they want to'published at 12:16 British Summer Time 12 October 2019

Shane Horgan
Former Ireland wing on BBC Radio 5 LiveAll very comfortable so far. Ireland are playing the game they want to, turning the ball over almost at will and Samoa seem to be struggling. They look a fatigued side.
That try highlights the need to get the ball out to the wider channels. Jordan Larmour's pace really did the damage. He had options either side, goes back inside to Sexton, who looks very happy with himself.

Johnny Sexton (con Sexton)
Ireland play a simple one-two and it's far too easy.
Johnny Sexton feeds the ball to Jordan Larmour, who bursts through a gap in the Samoan defence, before throwing it back inside to Sexton.
The fly-half runs in try number three and kicks the extras from the tee.

Ireland 14-0 Samoa
Shane Horgan
Former Ireland wing on BBC Radio 5 LiveNot what you'd expect from a traditional front row union player, that was an incredible carry from Tadgh Furlong.
It's looking very comfortable. The expectation would be that the first-up defence from Samoa wouldn't allow that to happen. We're ten minutes into the game and Furlong bounced off two and broke two more tackles. It was his ferocity that carried him over the line.

Andrew Priestely: Very impressed with referee Nic Berry in the early stages of this game. Strong and correct on-field decisions being made alongside excellent communication with his assistants and TMO.

Tadhg Furlong (con Johnny Sexton)
Ireland are half-way to the bonus point.
They build a platform after retaining the ball at the line-out and there is no stopping Tadhg Furlong from there.
The prop shrugs off a couple of tackles to power over from close range and Ireland double their lead through the boot of Johnny Sexton.

'Stockdale did drop into it'published at 11:58 British Summer Time 12 October 2019
Ireland 7-0 Samoa
Shane Horgan
Former Ireland wing on BBC Radio 5 LiveStockdale did drop into it a little bit but I think there was direct connection with the head and jaw. The force may not have been to the maximum degree and I think that's the only reason we're not seeing Lam off the pitch for the entire match.

Seilala Lam is a lucky boy.
The hooker makes direct contact with Jacob Stockdale's chin after a big tackle.
But the Samoan is given the benefit of the doubt as he bends his knees slightly.
It's just a yellow.
