MAN-OF-THE-MATCH

Ireland flyhalf Jonathan Sexton received the best-player award.

08 Nov 2014

Well done to the Irish!

They simply made better use of their chances against an error-ridden Springbok outfit. The Boks had numerous chances to score points but couldn't capitalise. It's back to the drawing board for the South Africans.

08 Nov 2014

FULL-TIME: Ireland 29-15 South Africa

08 Nov 2014

80' - There's no time time for a restart as referee Poite blows for full-time...

08 Nov 2014

79' - JP Pietersen rounds off a brilliant backline move from the Boks, but it's too-little-too-late.

Lambie misses with a quick drop attempt.

Ireland 29-15 South Africa

08 Nov 2014

79' - TRY to the Springboks!

08 Nov 2014

78' - Madigan calmly slots the PENALTY.

Ireland 29-10 South Africa

08 Nov 2014

77' - Another kickable penalty for Ireland as Burger is pinged for side-entry...

Ian Madigan, who is now on for Sexton, will line up from close to the touchline...

08 Nov 2014

76' - 15 AGAINST 15

Adriaan Strauss is now back from his time spent in the sin-bin, but the damage is done, I'm afraid...

08 Nov 2014

74' - It's all over for South Africa I'm afraid. That last conversion means the Boks have to score three times to win.

08 Nov 2014

73' - Sexton slots the CONVERSION from the touchline.

Ireland 26-10 South Africa

08 Nov 2014

72' - Ireland wing Tommy Bowe scores in the corner after following up on a brilliant chip kick from scrumhalf Conor Murray.

08 Nov 2014

72' - TRY to Ireland!

08 Nov 2014

70' - BOK SUBS: Both prop reserves, Trevor Nyakane and Coenie Oosthuizen, are now on.

08 Nov 2014

70' - Sexton slots the PENALTY right next to the posts.

Ireland 19-10 South Africa

08 Nov 2014

69' - Penalty to Ireland, who are throwing everything at South Africa now. Sexton will have an easy kick and Ireland will get a 9-point lead.

08 Nov 2014

68' - The Boks lose possession close to their own tryline...

08 Nov 2014

67' - Sexton kicks it out close to the Bok line. There will be massive pressure on Boks now because Vermeulen has to throw into the lineout with Strauss in the sin-bin...

08 Nov 2014

67' - BOK SUB: Handre Pollard is off, replaced by Pat Lambie.

08 Nov 2014

66' - YELLOW CARD

Oh dear, Romain Poite decides to send Adriaan Strauss to the sin-bin. Harsh call perhaps.

08 Nov 2014

66' - TMO CALL

Ireland fullback Kearney fails to handle a high ball from Reinach but the referee wants to check if he wasn't taken out in the air.

08 Nov 2014

64' - BOK SUB: Eben Etzebeth is off, replaced by Bakkies Botha.

62' - PENALTY slotted by Sexton.

Ireland 16-10 South Africa

08 Nov 2014

61' - Ireland win a kickable penalty when Duane Vermeulen is penalised for a high tackle.

Sexton will line up, about 15m in from touch...

08 Nov 2014

60' - TACKLES MADE: Ireland 101-57 SA

08 Nov 2014

59' - IRELAND SUB: Sean Cronin is off, replaced by Richardt Strauss.

His direct opponent will be his cousin and Bok hooker Adriaan.

08 Nov 2014

58' - I have to swallow my words there. If I was was the captain, I would have opted for the three points there... It was a huge risk nevertheless. But luckily for De Villiers it paid off.

08 Nov 2014

57' - Pollard slots the CONVERSION.

Ireland 13-10 South Africa

08 Nov 2014

56' - Marcell Coetzee barges over after a dominating driving maul from the lineout.

08 Nov 2014

56' - TRY to the Springboks!

08 Nov 2014

56' - BOK SUB: Francois Hougaard is off, replaced by Cobus Reinach.

08 Nov 2014

55' - Oh no, yet again De Villiers opts for a lineout instead of three points.

08 Nov 2014

54' - Another powerful Bok scrum and referee Poite gives a penalty.

08 Nov 2014

53' - After 12 phases, the Boks run out of options and go nowhere. Luckily for them, there was an Ireland hand which halted the move so we'll have another scrum, just outside the Ireland 22m area...

08 Nov 2014

51' - TIGHTHEAD!

Another massive Springbok scrum produces a tighthead. Again they can attack on the Ireland 22m line...

08 Nov 2014

50' - BOK SUB: Bismarck du Plessis is off, replaced by Adriaan Strauss.

08 Nov 2014

50' - Not the best start for Burger as he knocks on just outside the Ireland 22m area. My word, so many chances squandered in promising positions for the Springboks.

08 Nov 2014

49' - BOK SUB: Cornal Hendricks is off, replaced by JP Pietersen.

08 Nov 2014

48' - Bismarck du Plessis wins a crucial penalty on the ground for the Boks, just as Ireland looked dangerous outside the Bok 22m area...

08 Nov 2014

46' - BOK SUB: Teboho Mohoje is off, replaced by Schalk Burger.

08 Nov 2014

46' - Another chance gone begging as Matfield is penalised for holding on to it too long on the ground...
