  1. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

    South Africa have a throw just inside their own half.

    Every moment matters now.

  2. 'Ireland have made crucial mistakes'

    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.

  3. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

    Five to go. You can't take your eyes off this!

  4. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

    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.

  5. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    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.

  6. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

    Frawley brings Ireland up to just outside the 22.

    Can they build from here?

    This could be a grandstand finish!

  7. South Africa 24-22 Irlenad

    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!

  8. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

    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....

  9. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

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

    He looks like Paul Mescal in the new Gladiator film.

    Eben Etzebeth involved again

  10. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

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

  11. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

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

  12. South Africa 24-22 Ireland

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

  13. Drop-goal - South Africa 24-21 Ireland

    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.

  14. South Africa 24-19 Ireland

    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!

  15. South Africa 24-19 Ireland

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

    They are going to tap and go here.

  16. South Africa 24-19 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    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.

  17. South Africa 24-19 Ireland

    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.

  18. South Africa 24-19 Ireland

    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.

  19. 'Ireland have given away so many opportunities'

    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.

  20. South Africa 24-19 Ireland

    Ireland have 15 minutes to rescue this one.

    The pressure is on.
