    That's a big, big moment, a big decision from Wayne Barnes there. A penalty try is one thing but to actually sin-bin the New Zealand hooker going into the final 15 minutes of this match. Wayne Barnes has given Ireland another gift here.

    The yellow card, that is a huge turning point. Massive credit to Ireland at the line-out there, unbelievable moment to get that penalty try, now take a breath.

    New Zealand empty their bench as we wait for the line-out.

    Plenty of fresh legs on to take advantage of any tiring ones.

    Sexton is whipping up the crowd here. He doesn't want his rugby journey to end tonight.

    The question marks do start to niggle in the back of your mind, another quarter-final and things aren't quite sticking. We need some big plays now from this Irish team to try and put some pressure back on New Zealand.

    Jimmy O'Brien shows some great pace and skips outside the 22 with his fresh legs. Ireland look to build again.
