    It's been a game of two halves really. Dominance from Ireland in the first half and it's completely flipped over.

    What has changed for South Africa is I think their kicking game has been so much better, they have won moments and carried the ball better. Ireland have made mistakes, crucial mistakes.

    It goes through the hands and Ireland are flying forward, but Henshaw launches a pass that James Lowe is never getting on the end of and South Africa survive.

    Ireland have got to keep this within two points if they can, they have to keep it to one score and hope they get a moment or an opportunity up in the South African 22.

    Frawley brings Ireland up to just outside the 22.

    Can they build from here?

    This could be a grandstand finish!

    Ireland have the ball but at the wrong end of the pitch, but they win a penalty and they can gain plenty of territory here.

    Seven minutes to play!

    Thinking about that, I think I'd rather take my chances with a lion in a Colosseum than Etzebeth.

    Both would have a similar end result.

    Anyway, back to the rugby....

    It's been a while, but Eden Etzebeth is bleeding again.

    He looks like Paul Mescal in the new Gladiator film.

    They can! South Africa go wide but Kurt-Lee Arendse is tackled into touch.

    That's a great strike from Ciaran Frawley, unbelievable! They have got something out of a scrappy couple of moments there.

    South Africa have the scrum in the Irish 22. There's been a familiar script so far, can Ireland hold off the Boks power?

    Ciaran Frawley

    Wow! Out of nowhere Ciaran Frawley sends over a mega drop goal from just inside the South African half.

    That's a different level of composure. Ireland are back within two points.

    Ten minutes left.

    Herring drives for the line but he's just short!

    Ireland's forwards go again but du Toit gets under the ball and the Boks defence hold the ball up!

    HUGE!

    Ireland win the free-kick and it's all a bit of a mess.

    They are going to tap and go here.

    Ireland look fatigued. They put in some effort in that first half and they just look tired and they can't get into any sort of multiphase.

    Rob Herring miscues his throw but Ireland then win the penalty.

    Posts or to the corner? It's a big call.

    Ciaran Frawley sticks it out for a line-out.

    This feels like a huge moment.

    There's more kick tennis between the sides but it's Feinberg-Mngomezulu who blinks first and he kicks straight into touch.

    Ireland have the throw just outside the 22! This is their first bit of territory this half.

    Great kick from him [Handre Pollard] there. Sixth penalty of this second half and sixth penalty in total. Ireland have given away so many opportunities.

    Ireland have 15 minutes to rescue this one.

    The pressure is on.

    Handre Pollard

    Handre Pollard has been exceptional from the tee this evening and this one is no different.

    It's between the posts and now the world champions have a bit of daylight!
