  1. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Still Ireland press. Five metres out now.

  2. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Ireland win the throw but it's going through the hands.

    Can Ireland breach this gold wall?

    Ireland have been very poor today, especially in defence. But fair play to the Wallabies, they have been fierce.

    C’mon Ireland!

  4. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Sam Prendergast has been on the money with ball from hand today and he brings Ireland six metres out or so.

  5. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Ireland have the penalty advantage, and play is brought back after James Ryan was hammered in the tackle.

  6. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Gibson-Park goes to the sky but Pietsch gathers it, and the hosts settle again.

    Eight to go, five in it.

  7. Missed penalty

    Australia 31-26 Ireland

    It's right on the touchline about 25 metres out.

    Donaldson.....misses wide to the left!

    And now Ireland try to come racing forward!

  8. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    We've just ticked into the final 10 minutes.

    This feels big.

  9. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Ben Donaldson sends the ball into the air and Ciaran Frawley wins it, but Jimmy O'Brien is pinged for obstruction and the hosts hve a penalty.

    Ben Donaldson is going to go for the posts.

    That's a big, big moment. Credit to the Australian front row.

  11. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    This Australia scrum has ticked a minute or two off the clock, and when it finally gets going they win a penalty.

  12. Get Involved

    Australia 31-26 Ireland

    In my opinion, the Sheehan try being ruled out was very harsh, as the separation with Ryan came about from Australia number 18 entering in from the side of the maul.

    Chris, Letchworth

    Dreadful decision. Not a chance Valentini is stopping Sheehan from there. Ryan doesn't even wrap his arm around him.

    It was right call...from Ireland fan

  13. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    It goes through the hands of James Ryan and forwards as the second row looked ready to race under the posts.

    Bundee Aki was lurking, should Ryan have left it for him?

    That's a big chance lost.

  14. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    The hosts stop the maul but Ireland are working it through the forwards as they chip towards the line.

    Ireland are inches away!

    Darren Cave

    It feels a little bit nervy on both sides now. This game is absolutely on a knife edge.

  16. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Nick Timoney latches onto Prendergast's pass and races into the 22, but is stopped by Ben Donaldson.

    Australia infringe at the breakdown and Prendergast sticks the ball five metres out.

  17. Get Involved

    Australia 31-26 Ireland

    What a great day for sport! Rugby union and league, cricket, F1, tennis and football to name just a few. Looks as though those chores I promised I’d do today may have to wait until tomorrow…

  18. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    It's Hugo Keenan to the rescue again as he nails Jorgensen in the tackle after Australia raced forwards again.

    Textbook tackle and he put his man into touch.

  19. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Australia come racing forward against by Max Jorgensen's pass had a bit too much on it for Dylan Pietsch and the ball is into touch.

  20. Australia 31-26 Ireland

    Australia win a penalty from a scrum on halfway and that's another little win for the Wallabies.
