    South Africa have the advantage and Garry Ringrose crunches Damian Willemse.

    Play is brought back and we know where this is going.

    That's the fifth scrum penalty and there may be a card coming soon. The ref will have the South Africans in his ear.

    Make that 15 penalties as the scrum goes down again.

    Ireland 13-24 South Africa

    Ireland have conceded 14 penalties this evening and there's still around 20 minutes to play.

    That's been the downfall.

    The replacements aren't faring much better than the starters and Finlay Bealham is penalised.

    We go again.

    Mack Hansen's odd boots have not worked as well this evening as they did last week...

    Perhaps if it weren't for the amount of cards already, Matthew Carney might be looking at a yellow for the cumulative penalties.

    Ireland are not helping themselves.

    Okay, Josh van der Flier did come off but Ryan Baird can't continue with a knock.

    So he's back on and Jack Conan replaces Baird.

    Andrew Porter, Tadhg Furlong and Josh van der Flier make way.

    Paddy McCarthy, Finlay Bealham and Jack Conan are on for the final 20 minutes or so.

    Can they stop the Springbok momentum at the scrum.

    Kwagga Smith is just short, and Jesse Kriel is closer still!

    It's held up over the line but play is brought back for a penalty.

    South Africa have opted for the scrum, which isn't a surprise given their dominance in the set play today.

    Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Siya Kolisi make way.

    A legend of the game and one who is bound to be in years to come.

    Manie Lobbok is on, as is Andrew Esterhuizen.

    Feinberg-Mngomezulu sends a ball out wide for Pieter-Steph du Toit and Mack Hansen puts in a big tackle to stop a certain try!

    Ireland then give away a penalty under their own posts to undo all that hard work.

    Sam Prendergast brings Ireland up to halfway, but Ronan Kelleher's throw is off and South Africa have it back again.

    South Africa are right on the attack once again.

    They are deeeeeep in the Irish 22 and the forwards are doing what they do.....but it's huge from Cian Prendergast to get his hands on the ball and turn it over.

    Ronan Kelleher is on for Dan Sheehan, who now has 16 tries for Ireland in 35 caps.

    That's a remarkable try scoring rate.

    Jamison Gibson-Park is brought down as he tried to get the ball at a ruck and Ireland win the penalty.

    Prendergast points to the sticks again.

    This is what Ireland will have to do. Keep building on the wins like this. Bit by bit down the pitch.

    Mack Hansen scoops up a loose ball and Ireland are just outside the 22 with all the momentum!
