    Crowley thinks he should have more metres on his clearance kick.

    He's not happy with the touch judge, must have learnt that trick off Sexton.

    This probably sums up the opening 15 minutes of the second half.

    The first 40 minutes were great, less so after the restart.

    Api Ratuniyarawa

    Fiji are down to 13 men now as Ratuniyarawa pulls down the Irish maul.

    Frustrated to say the least.

    For all of Ireland's dominance we still haven't increased that score. It's coming, but the Fijians are proving difficult to break down.

    It's a red card, i'm not surprised.

    It's a pity, I feel sorry for Fiji but we have to protect this game and it's the right call from the officials.

    Albert Tuisue

    Tuisue can have no complaints as he makes direct contact with Carbery's head.

    Shoulder to head - red!

    Jeremy Loughman is looking right at home at test level.

    Great skillset for a prop.

    Ireland will be pleased with what they have done. It's been controlled and they have done well, but they will maybe want to open up a bit more in the second half.

    That is all I need to say.

    After losing Robbie Henshaw you would have feared the worst for Ireland.

    Ringrose is a Rolls-Royce of a player however.

    Classy in attack, a rock in defence.

    People underestimate Fiji a little bit. Everyone knows the threat they have ball in hand, but after the first three of four minutes they haven't really been in the game and Ireland have been in control.

    Who remembers Baloucoune's first Ireland try?

    Well this one was not quite as spectacular but they all count for the same.

    Search it up if you haven't.

    It's a long way off the intensity of the South Africa game. In it's own right there have been a lot of positives after a slow start. It's been very entertaining and enjoyable.

    The whistle blows and after a nervy start Ireland will be happy.

    Mack Hansen gets away down the wing but his chip doesn't go to hand.

    Nearly for magic Mack!

    Well, well, well. Who would have predicted this?

    Italy are leading Australia at half-time.

    Will the Wallabies respond in the second half?

    Jack knew himself that his foot was in touch. You could tell by his face.
