    Ireland 19-7 Australia

    Australia win the penalty.

    Lowe had put the brakes on to slow down and he almost slid into Potter in the wet surface. It was minimal contact.

    That's refreshing from Karl Dickson, I'll be honest. He took one look at it and that was enough.

    Ireland 19-7 Australia

    We're going for a TMO check for the tackle by Lowe on Potter.

    Was it a big high or reckless?

    James Lowe flattens Harry Potter, who spills it and Ireland win the scrum.

    That sums up Australia's half so far.

    They make a mess of the throw and Gibson-Park hammers the ball clear.

    Australia win the penalty after Paddy McCarthy played the ball on the ground.

    O'Connor pops it deep into the 22.

    Should Mack Hansen be Ireland's first-choice full-back off the back of this opening half hour?

    It's all gone to plan so far.

    James O'Connor sends the ball into the 22 and it's knocked back by a big Australian hand.

    The Wallabies are trying to pile the pressure back on after another green spell.

    Ireland 19-7 Australia

    Potter wins the penalty after Robbie Henshaw caught him while he was catching for the ball.

    It's sent just over halfway by James O'Connor.

    Sometimes when it is going your way, it is rightly going your way.

    Nice little inter-play from Ireland and three in half an hour from Hansen is something else.

    I know Harry Potter is on the pitch but, my word, Mack Hansen is magic, isn't he?

    Try - Ireland 19-7 Australiapublished at 28 mins

    Mack Hansen

    Guess who?! It's three for Hansen!

    Sam Prendergast nails a crossfield kick for Tommy O'Brien, who drags two players in with him. The ball squirms out of the ruck and Mack Hansen reacts quickest to pick it up and cross for his hat-trick inside the opening half hour.

    Prendergast's conversion is wide.

    That's awful for Stuart McCloskey, who limps off after 27 minutes.

    He looks dejected. Bundee AKi is on in his place.

    It is a very interesting battle at the scrum.

    Ireland look like they are getting the edge initially but the more the scrum goes on and the height rises, Australia have the edge.

    It is going to be a very interesting wrestle, especially with the weather tonight.

    Ireland 14-7 Australia

    That all came from another Prendergast kick, which goes back to my earlier point about how good he is with ball in hand.

    Ireland 14-7 Australia

    Max Jorgensen does really well to gather the ball under big pressure from James Lowe, but he's shovelled back over his own line and Ireland will have the scrum five metres out.

    Ireland 14-7 Australia

    It's stunning from Jamison Gibson-Park, who spots a gap from the back of the ruck inside his own half and sends a delightful kick into the Australian 22 and it dribbles into touch.

    Ireland will have the throw after that 50/22.

    After coming out second best for the Australia try, Prendergast was well beaten by Daugunu on the wing in that play.

    He's been brilliant with ball in hand and with the boot, but that's a couple of times the Australian power has go the better of him.

    James Lowe takes his eye off the ball and it's a sloppy knock-on.

    Australia have it back and here come the Wallabies.

    Len Ikitau is almost away but Tommy O'Brien gets across to make an important challenge.

    There's a tip tackle by James Ryan on Fraser McReight in the middle of it all, so the scrums becomes a penalty.

    Nothing more than that.

    Robbie Henshaw brings that phase of play to a close as he knocks the ball on.

    This is a chance for a rare breather.
