    It's been ruled out. And James Ryan actually caught Thomas Du Toit on the head as he fell over the ruck.

    Oh, hang on. Did James Ryan infringe at the ruck before the try?

    We're going to the TMO.

    Sam Prendergast

    Sam Prendergast's kick doesn't look convincing and it comes back off the post.

    James Lowe is quickest to react and here come Ireland!

    Ryan Baird grabs the ball at the tail of the line out and Ireland look to march forward but swiftly lose it.

    But South Africa are pinged for a side entry and Prendergast points to the posts.

    Some scrappy kicking from both teams but Ireland getting the better of the receptions from both sides.

    Garry Ringrose spots some space and sends a kick deep into the South Africa 22, but the Springboks had strayed offside and Ireland will have the penalty.

    Matthew Carley isn't going to have a voice left at full-time.

    He's having to shout at every ruck to warn players not to touch the ball, or for both scrum halves to use it.

    This is chaos.

    Cobus Reinach gets down low to chop down Doris by the ankles off the back of the scrum.

    Little v large, and little wins this time.

    Ireland have the ball but they are back on their own 22 line.

    Gibson-Park has enough of that and puts a tester up for Tommy O'Brien. He doesn't get there, but Willemse knocks it on.

    The whole busy pub shouted forward pass for that try. How was that not even looked at??

    Clearly South Africa pre-match comments worked, a yellow all day long.

    Scandalous refereeing. Rugby just isn't serious about clamping down on these 'tackles'.

    Feinberg-Mngomezulu isn't having the best game so far as his penalty is sliced out wide, about 10 metres from where he kicked it from.

    James Lowe is off with his timing and he catches Willemse in the air as they went to contest the ball.

    He tried to pull out of the tackle but couldn't do it in time.

    Feinberg-Mngomezulu kicks away possession and Ireland have the ball back.

    Prendergast spots some space and sticks the ball into touch midway through the Springbok half.

    Top quality turnover from a big man like Thomas Du Toit. He was straight over that and it was perfect jackal technique

    Was that the right call from referee Matthew Carley on Feinberg-Mngomezulu's tackle on O'Brien? Let us know using Get Involved.

    South Africa clear and immediately get the ball back as Dan Sheehan's throw isn't straight.

    And South Africa pinch it on their own line!

    A huge defensive set.
