    It all came from Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who burst through a number of tackles and found Jesse Kriel, who got the Boks up to the 22 from their own line!

    Cheslin Kolbe got them closer still, and the pressure is on big time now!

    There is definitely this week physicality that Ireland are bringing in defence.

    Last week South Africa were winning the gainline, quick ruck balls and playing on the front foot so much easier, but it is very uncharacteristic of South Africa

    On only his second Ireland start, how good was Jamie Osborne in that first half?

    In the last quarter of that half you thought it was going to end up 10-10 and that would be a very good half for South Africa.

    South Africa are unbeaten at Kings Park in eight years.

    Ireland are 40 minutes away from changing that.

    International rugby is about spilling blood for your country, but it's getting ridiculous as everyone has had to go off to get patched up!

    Jonathan mentions the 13-month season there.

    This Irish squad will be looking forward to getting on some sun loungers after a brutal year and a bit, but their minds won't be focused on that just yet....we hope.

    Ireland will have wanted to up their physicality compared to a week ago and they certainly managed it across the opening 40.

    At the end of what has essentially been a 13-month season, but with a ten-point lead at the turn, the question is can they maintain that level for another 40 minutes?

    We're just seeing Conor Murray's try again on the TV.

    That was so slick from Ireland as it was worked through the hands.

    Something that was severely lacking last week.

    I think it's really important to emphasize to win any international game away from home you have got to be really physical and own the gainline. But especially in South Africa, they put so much emphasis on their physicality, size and how they dominate you there.

    Kings Park is known as the Shark Tank.

    It's Ireland who are swimming at the minute, while South Africa are just about keeping their heads above water.

    Ireland deserve to be in front but that was a massive chance opportunity missed to bag a second try on the cusp of half-time.

    Garry Ringrose will be kicking himself. But compared to last week, this is miles better from an Irish perspective.

    What a second half we have in store.

    Seven points have gone to begging for Ireland, there is no doubt about it.

    The try line is there for Garry Ringrose but he spills it!

    Play is brought back for a penalty, but that was a guaranteed seven points that slipped away!
