  1. Missed penalty - South Africa 8-10 Irelandpublished at 21:28 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Manie Libbok (64 mins)

    He missed a sitter earlier, and he's missed that one too!

    How costly will that be? That's very kickable five points left on the tee by Libbok, and another two from de Klerk.

    Unbelievable power!

    Ireland's scrum creaked and South Africa win the penalty.

    Libbok points to the posts...

    Jack Conan, out injured for this game, has his polo shirt over his face. He can't watch.

    Know how you feel, Jack.

    Ireland hold firm and de Allende knocks the ball on.

    This is relentless stuff!

    Ireland have got their noses back in front. Who knows what is gong to happen? It's a heavy-weight battle, two teams just going at it. It is incredibly physical out there.

    South Africa 8-10 Ireland

    Ireland take the kick-off and look to exit from their own 22.

    Damian Willemse pulls off a huge catch under pressure from Hugo Keenan and South Africa now come forward...

    Every small detail matters now!

    Johnny Sexton (59 mins)

    It's no bother to Ireland's skipper and Ireland lead once again.

    20 minutes to play.

    How are your nerves, everyone?

    But Ireland win a huge penalty! That was celebrated like a try!

    It's dead centre and 22 metres out. Sexton points to the posts....

    South Africa 8-7 Ireland

    Iain Henderson is the next man on for Ireland.

    James Ryan gets a well-earned rest.

    Ireland win their line out but are a bit slow to the ruck and South Africa are able to nab it.

    How important could that miskick be?

    There were question marks coming in that that's a kick you would say an international player should be getting so for Ireland that's a big positive.

    Sheehan's first line-out is good on halfway.

    Jamison Gibson-Park has his kick charged down but RG Snyman, who came off the bench, had strayed offside.

  12. Replacementpublished at 21:16 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    South Africa 8-7 Ireland

    Dan Sheehan is on in place of Ronan Kelleher. The Leinster man is officially back from injury.

    Welcome back, Dan!

    It's been a brutal 50 minutes - the size of the South Africa team, you know what's coming but how do you stop it?

    Wonderful play by the Springboks, wonderful play by the backs. A brilliant scum and wrap-around play. Cheslin Kolbe in acres of space out wide. This is exactly what the bomb squad was hoping to do, what they wanted to do at the fifty-minute mark and what a time to do it.

  15. Missed conversion!published at 21:15 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    South Africa 8-7 Ireland

    Manie Libbok misses the conversion. It looked straight forward but he pulls it wide.

    That could be huge!

  16. Postpublished at 21:15 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    South Africa 8-7 Ireland

    There was a quick check for obstruction but there's nothing doing according to the TMO, so we're back under way for the conversion.

    Try - South Africa 8-7 Irelandpublished at 21:12 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Cheslin Kolbe

    The Boks hit back!

    It's pure power as South Africa win their scrum.

    It goes through the hands and it ends with Kolbe out wide and he darts over unchallenged to score.

    Easy as you like.

    It'll be interesting to see how the coaches decide when is it team for Ireland to bring on their reinforcements.

    It sounded like 35,000 Irish supporters were behind that tackle! What a hit. When do you ever see that, Etzebeth held up like that.

    South Africa 3-7 Ireland

    South Africa put too much pressure on the Irish scrum and South Africa win the penalty five metres out.

    Now the Boks will go for the scrum.
