    That was all about speed of breakdown. It's something that Ireland haven't really had so far but a big moment for the 13 men.

    Dan Sheehan (con Crowley)

    Josh van der Flier and Bundee Aki made some big metres, and Dan Sheehan crashes over!

    What a response from the 13 men, and Jack Crowley converts for good measure.

    That's a really well-taken score and it has been coming. Ireland are in big trouble now too with another man down.

    Ireland 0-12 South Africa

    Things go from bad to worse for Ireland as Sam Prendergast is sent to the bin for one of many Irish infringements in that phase of play.

    They're down to 13 and are 12 points down.

    It's another penalty advantage and the visitors.

    South Africa are battering the Irish defence.

    The scrum is reset and this suits Ireland, who are trying to tick the minutes down.

    We've definitely seen those given as a card before but Tommy O'Brien gets away with just a penalty. That'll be a relief.

    Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    Tommy O'Brien is off for a HIA and on comes Jack Crowley, which will cause a bit of a reshuffle.

    Ringrose onto the wing and Crowley into centre? Crowley at full-back and Hansen onto the wing?

    Ireland 5-0 South Africa

    It's only a penalty as referee Matthew Carley feels O'Brien and Moodie were falling into the tackle.

    He's been a busy man in the opening half hour, and that will likely cause more debate.

    South Africa opt for the scrum.

    Ireland 0-5 South Africa

    Tommy O'Brien's legs are bent but there is head contact.

    It was almost like he was caught off guard by Sam Prendergast flying up to tackle Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who didn't have the ball.

    We're going to the TMO here.

    Is Tommy O'Brien now in bother for that tackle on Moodie?

    It's another penalty advantage and SOuth Africa come rattling forward.

    Tommy O'Brien puts in a thundering hit on Canan Moodie, and both players need some treatment.

    The Springboks had the penalty from the scrum.

    Bundee Aki is into the scrum to add some weight, so Ireland are now a man light in the backs.

    Ireland stop the maul but not legally.

    It's another penalty and the Boks opt for the scrum with their man advantage.

    Here comes the maul....

    Ireland have got to ride this one out until the half. It's going to be a huge defensive effort and they can't bounce from set piece to set piece as that is where South Africa excel.

    Time to knuckle down.
