  1. South Africa 0-10 Ireland

    It's some scrum for South Africa and they tear through the Irish pack to win the penalty.

    Handre Pollard points to the posts.

  2. Replacement

    South Africa 0-10 Ireland

    RG Snyman had just jogged off as Etzebeth returned, but he's straight back on for Franco Mostert as the big lock can't continue.

  3. All Ireland so far

    South Africa 0-10 Ireland

    Jonathan Bradley
    BBC Sport NI

    Such a contrast from the opening quarter of an hour a week ago from the visitors

    Then, Ireland looked sluggish and low on energy at the end of a long World Cup season.

    They've flown from the blocks this week, though - impressive linespeed and physicality in defence while Conor Murray's try featured some really sharp handling.

  4. South Africa 0-10 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    I've got to say there has been some poor clearances, even the dropout was poor and it invited Ireland back on the attack

  5. South Africa 0-10 Ireland

    It's knocked on by Doris as he goes to make a tackle, and the hosts will have the put in.

    Franco Mostert is down again receiving treatment and his leg is getting stretched.

    This has been brutal.

    In a boost for the hosts, Eden Etzebeth is back on the pitch.

    That anticipation creates the try and it's a terrific score from Ireland

    Robbie Henshaw gets the pass away

  7. South Africa 0-10 Ireland

    Now it's South Africa's turn to come forward.

    Faf de Klerk finds Kolbe out wide, who skips inside before being hammered to the Durban turf.

    South Africa are chipping their way forward.

  8. South Africa 0-10 Ireland

    Matt Gault
    BBC Sport NI

    Andy Farrell was less than happy with how Ireland acquitted themselves in the first half in Pretoria.

    There's a long way to go, but he'll be happier with this opening quarter of an hour.

    Good platform for the Six Nations champions.

    Converted Try - South Africa 0-10 Ireland

    Conor Murray (con Crowley)

    What a score!

    Jack Crowley finds Jamie Osborne, who spots a gap and pops it off to Henshaw.

    The centre strides forward and feeds Murray, who is free to score beside the posts.

    That was so precise. The Springboks had no answer.

    Murray scores for the second time in two games

  10. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    It's not a good look for Tadhg Furlong having a problem with his hamstring.

    He is so important for Ireland. We were speaking about the power that South Africa can bring on and this guy is really important to this Irish side with his experience and his strength, we certainly want him to stay on.

  11. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    The South African defence, coached by former Ireland hooker Jerry Flannery, is holding firm.

    Robbie Henshaw and Handre Pollard both go for it and go sprawling, and Kurt-Lee Arendse touches down in his own goal area.

    Pollard can clear with the drop out.

  12. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    It's a long throw and Kelleher gathers before immediately kicjking through.

    It's sent long by the Boks in return, and Jamie Osborne who breaks one tackle.

    And then big Joe McCarthy brings Ireland seven metres out.

    This is big pressure!

  13. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    Jamie Osborne does really well to gather a kick when under pressure from a number of white jerseys.

    It's recycled back to Crowley, but he sticks his kick straight out of play.

    Line out for the Boks just inside the Irish half.

    Jamie OsborneInpho

    Osborne gathers

  14. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    Tadhg Furlong is now getting some treatment on his leg. The big prop looks like he is having some trouble with his hamstring.

    This has been such a bruising opening 10 minutes, as you would probably expect from these two.

  15. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    The forwards were chipping away but Pollard puts a really poor kick through and Calvin Nash can call the mark.

    South Africa have the ball back, but it's now on the halfway line.

  16. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    It goes short to Snyman and here comes the South African forwards....

  17. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    Jamie Osborne gives away a penalty when trying to challenge for a long ball.

    Grant Williams is going up for it but Osborne slips as he goes to challenge and wipes his man out.

    Pollard brings the Boks up to the 22.

  18. 'Positive start from Ireland'

    South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    Alan Quinlan
    Former Munster and Ireland flanker on Sky Sports

    It's an encouraging start. Obviously it's early, but Ireland look to have a little bit of zip and can they maintain that? That's the challenge throughout the game but it's a positive start.

  19. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    Eden Etzebeth has a big gash on the top of his head and joins his second row partner in having blood pouring onto his jersey.

    RG Snyman, Leinster's former Munsterman, is on in his place.

    Eben EtzebethInpho

    Eben Etzebeth has been replaced as a blood sub

  20. South Africa 0-3 Ireland

    Cheslin Kolbe almost gathers a kick through by Faf de Klerk but it just runs away from him.

    Franco Mostert tries to dive on the ball but he does so illegally, and Karl Dickson blows for a penalty.
