  1. South Africa 6-13 Ireland

    SO CLOSE! Doris goes from the back of the scrum and du Toit puts in a try-saving tackle!

    Ireland come again!

  2. 'Osborne has done brilliantly'

    [Jamie] Osborne has done brilliantly.

    His second test, we spoke a lot about him last week and he has won so much high ball in the air. I know he absorbed a big hit from Ox Nche there, but he had the strength to present the ball back.

  3. South Africa 6-13 Ireland

    Big moment for Ireland!

    James Lowe kicks down the line and although Pollard gathers the ball, he slips in his own try area and Lowe pounces on him!

    Ireland have the scrum right on the South African line.

  4. South Africa 6-13 Ireland

    We've just 90 seconds until half-time here.

    Ireland win the scrum this time.

  5. South Africa 6-13 Ireland

    The kick-off goes into the try area and Conor Murray uses all his experience to dot the ball down.

    Ireland have the scrum on halfway.

  6. Penalty - South Africa 6-13 Ireland

    Jack Crowley

    Crowley nails the kick.

    He restores Ireland's seven-point advantage.

  7. South Africa 6-10 Ireland

    Crowley sends the ball into the sky and Henshaw is stopped for going for the ball by du Toit.

    That's a clear obstruction, and Crowley points to the posts.

  8. 'Ireland giving away three points is not the end of the world'

    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    That's not a bad result for Ireland is it.

    You think there was a couple of really good chances there and a lot of pressure from South Africa and for Ireland to give away three points is not the end of the world you would think.

  9. South Africa 6-10 Ireland

    You guessed it, there's more blood!

    Eden Etzebeth, who was patched up earlier on, is bandaged for a second time.

  10. South Africa 6-10 Ireland

    Given that sustained pressure by the Springboks, Ireland will probably be quite happy that was only three points.

  11. Penalty - South Africa 6-10 Ireland

    Handre Pollard

    Handre Pollard points to the posts and he makes no mistake.

    Ireland's lead is down to four points.

  12. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    The last couple of minutes South Africa have been in this 22 and they just haven't come away with any scores and they have turned the ball over a few times.

  13. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    But the Springbok scrum is dominating! They win a penalty on Ireland's put in!

    This is another big chance.

  14. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    South Africa win the throw but can't control it in the maul and Ireland have the scrum deep in their own half.

    They haven't made it easy on themselves but their defence has been solid when it has mattered.

  15. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    There has been a lot of stops, it has been so physical and intense.

  16. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    Faf de Klerk goes quickly from a free-kick and Damian de Allende goes for the line!

    Play is brought back for a penalty, and Pollard sticks it into the corner.

  17. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    Great line speed from Ireland again. [Robbie] Henshaw has been very effective defensively and obviously he was involved in that try as well.

  18. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    This is turning into a Saw film there's so much blood.

    There's another stoppage as Jack Crowley is bleeding from his nose and he's being patched up.

  19. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    Matt Gault
    BBC Sport NI

    A couple of let-offs for Ireland, with Cheslin Kolbe failing to gather a pass a few moments ago before Faf de Klerk's knock-on releases pressure on the Irish defence.

    Have no doubt though: South Africa have come back into this after a shaky opening 20 minutes.

  20. South Africa 3-10 Ireland

    South Africa have another scrum after Robbie Henshaw knocks the ball on in a tackle.
