    Ireland captain Enya Breen: "We made hard work of it, it was a tough 80 minutes."

    "Credit USA, they really fought the whole way. I'm really proud of the girls. It's great to come out of this block with three wins out of four against tier one nations.

    "We're delighted, it's a massive step for us as a group."

  3. Full-time - USA 14-26 Irelandpublished at 22:26 British Summer Time 11 October

    All over in Vancouver as Ireland see out the final moments of the game against the 13 of USA.

    A fine final quarter from Ireland, albeit aided by American indiscipline.

    Jumping up to WXV1 after playing in the third tier a year ago, Ireland will be delighted with two wins from three games.

    USA 14-26 Ireland

    Rachel Johnson is going to the bin now, shown the card for a high tackle on Aoife Wafer.

    The number eight won't return either way but the tackle will be subject to a bunker review.

    Murphy-Crowe - 76mins

    Ireland move the ball through the hands and, with the extra player, Amee Leigh Murphy Crowe is the one free in the corner to score off O'Brien's pass.

    The replacement out-half can't add the extras but Ireland lead by 12 with four minutes to go.

    Moloney (con O'Brien) - 72 mins

    The call on the field was no try but, after a lengthy review, Moloney has maintained contact with the ball all the way to the ground.

    Ireland lead with eight minutes to go!

    USA 14-14 Ireland

    Ireland try to get their maul going against the 13 players of USA.

    Moloney reaches for the line but it looks like it's been dropped as she tries to ground it.

  9. Sin-bin - Rachel Ehreckepublished at 22:12 British Summer Time 11 October

    USA 14-14 Ireland

    USA are going to be down to 13 players for a few minutes.

    It's an intentional knock-on this time that sees Rachel Ehrecke shown a yellow card

    USA 14-14 Ireland

    There's 11 minutes to go and a O'Brien's kick in behind has Bulou Mataitoga in all sorts of bother.

    The USA full-back drops the ball forward ten metres from her own line and this is a huge chance for Ireland now.

    USA 14-14 Ireland

    A central scrum for Ireland - can they make the most of their numerical advantage?

  12. Postpublished at 22:03 British Summer Time 11 October

    USA 14-14 Ireland

    It's been slow since the sin-binning with a series of scrums, initially chosen by Ireland with the US a forward down, draining the clock on the yellow card.

    This will be frustrating the 15 women of Ireland.

    Penalty try - 62mins

    The 16th penalty of the game conceded by USA finally proves costly.

    Ireland's line-out works this time with the forwards advancing them right to the line.

    But Scuffil-McCabe's pass to Wafer is intercepted by Tahlia Brody in an offside position.

    It's a penalty try with the US flanker headed for the sin bin.

    Well, there'll certainly be a card here...the question is do we have a penalty try as well?

  15. Postpublished at 21:58 British Summer Time 11 October

    USA 14-7 Ireland

    USA are pinged at the breakdown again, their 15th penalty concession of the game so far.

    They have to be in yellow card territory soon, you'd think.

    USA 14-7 Ireland

    Ireland change hooker before the set-piece and Moloney's first act is a lost line-out throw.

    Another one goes begging...

    USA 14-7 Ireland

    It's a kickable penalty from a central position but Ireland will go to the corner.

    Can they make it count this time?

  18. Postpublished at 21:49 British Summer Time 11 October

    USA 14-7 Ireland

    Ireland are hanging on a touch as we approach the final quarter of the game but their superior breakdown work is doing just enough to keep them just that score behind.

    USA 14-7 Ireland

    Cheta Emba now making way for the USA...

    Will refrain from praising any other performances.

    USA 14-7 Ireland

    And just as I say they that, Emba knocks the ball on to give Ireland the scrum.

    Commentators curse and all that...
