  1. Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    South Africa are extremely relieved after that. I don't believe he made an attempt to wrap his arms.

  2. Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    It's into the corner from Prendergast.

  3. Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    Referee Matthew Carley awards the penalty but not a yellow card, which seems staggering given the events in plenty of matches this autumn.

    Both captains get a warning for the afters from both teams.

    The crowd aren't afraid of letting their thoughts known.

  4. Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    Feinberg-Mngomezulu could be in bother here.

    It was a shoulder into the shoulder and head of O'Brien, who was falling after being tackled by Pieter-Steph du Toit.

  5. Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    Such intensity to these opening minutes...it would remind you of the World Cup meeting between the pair back in 2023.

    While the healthy split in the crowd isn't great for Ireland's home advantage, it's making for a crackling atmosphere too.

  6. TMO

    Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    Ireland weren't happy with that hit and piled in to defend their players.

    It's not good viewing on the replay.

  7. 'Everyone did their job'

    Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    Brian O'Driscoll
    Former Ireland captain on TNT Sport

    To a man, all of the Springboks did their job there and a brilliant finish from Damian Willemse. A lot of hard graft and simplicity in the build-up.

  8. Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    This is mayhem!

    James Lowe makes good group and it's out to Tommy O'Brien on the other wing.

    He's clattered high and there could be a bit of bother here for Feinberg-Mngomezulu.

    Try - Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    Damian WIllemse

    What a start for the world champions!

    They had the advantage but just motored the ball through the hands.

    They got the overload out wide and the ball came to full-back Damian WIllemse, whose stunning Superman finish in the corner rounds off the move.

    The conversion attempt is wide from Feinberg-Mngomezulu.

  10. Ireland 0-0 South Africa

    South Africa win the row and tear the Irish defence apart with the maul.

    They have the penalty advantage but South Africa are ripping into the 22 regardless!

  11. Ireland 0-0 South Africa

    Big moment from Jasper Wiese.

    He gets over the ball after Andrew Porter was tackled and wins the penalty.

  12. Ireland 0-0 South Africa

    It's a long line out to Josh van der Flier at the back.

    He makes a few metres and Ireland are into the 22.

  13. Ireland 0-0 South Africa

    Ireland win the first penalty as South Africa go off their feet at a ruck.

    Prendergast puts it into touch midway through the Springbok half.

  14. 'Hooker battle key'

    Ireland v South Africa (17:40 GMT)

    Rory Best
    Former Ireland captain on TNT Sports

    The hooker battle is going to be fascinating tonight between Dan Sheehan and Malcolm Marx.

  15. Ireland 0-0 South Africa

    Sam Prendergast sends Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu to the shops but then scuffs his kick.

    Ireland regain possession but that was a bit scrappy.

  16. Ireland 0-0 South Africa

    Ryan Baird claims the kick-off and it's wide to James Lowe straight away, who takes a few steps forward and sends it back into the South African 22.

  17. Kick-off

    Ireland 0-0 South Africa

    One last dance this month for Ireland.

    Strap in, folks. This should be good.

  18. Ireland v South Africa (17:40 GMT)

    Although Ireland aren’t the side they were 2-3 years ago, and are on a gradual but inevitable slide, I think they still have some big performances in them (At least for now, until the inevitable age profile of so many of their big players catches up with them by the next World Cup). An Ireland win (by less than a score) and South Africa whinging about yet another invented world rugby conspiracy against them 🙄

    Ireland's third pre-match song this week is the Cranberries' Zombie.

    Bit of a World Cup throwback. It's usually the Fields of Athenry.

    The fans are belting this one out.

  20. Ireland v South Africa (17:40 GMT)

    Those anthems were LOUD.

    Not even just for Ireland, either. As Jonathan pointed out earlier there is a healthy Springbok contingent in Dublin and they are making themselves heard.
