    I'm not sure how to unpack that.

    Dan Sheehan was arguing that there were three infringements before the incident. I'm not sure if he was right.

    It's a harsh call but it's also the correct call.

    Ciaran Frawley is on, but for Jamie Osborne and not for Sam Prendergast.

    Both Irish wings were pretty quiet today.

    It's been ruled out. The drama of it all.

    James Ryan stopped Rob Valetini getting to Sheehan, who raced through the Valetini-shaped hole.

    Australia have a penalty and can clear.

    I think Ireland would be lucky to get away with this.

    O'Keeffe knows this is a big call and he's taking his time over it.

    I think this is going to be ruled out.

    Oh, hang on. We're going to the TMO, who has instructed Ben O'Keeffe to have another look at this.

    Did James Ryan get in the way of Rob Valentini?

    Ireland win another penalty after Paenga-Amosa didn't roll away.

    Prendergast brings play five metres out.

    Listening from a volunteer camp in Namibia, and the Australian contingent were mighty confident at half time’s score; they’re much quieter now. Still time for things to change though.

    Josh Canham steals the Irish throw from James Ryan just when it looked like the visitors would hit back.

    That's a big intervention, and McDermott hammers it clear.

    The manner in which Australia have scored their tries will be deeply concerning to Andy Farrell and his coaching staff.

    Not to mention the all-too-familiar line-out woes.

    The All Blacks - who Ireland face in a couple of weeks - will be licking their lips.

    After he retired last year, James Slipper is back in gold as he comes on.

    Angus Bell, Josh Nasser and Allan Alaalatoa make way for SLipper, Brandon Paenga-Amosa and Taniela Tupou.

    I'm not quite sure how Tate McDermott managed to get a score there!

    Really, really sharp stuff.

    Tate McDermott (con Gordon)

    Tate McDermott catches Ireland napping from the scrum and Australia retake the lead!

    The scrum-half was just short as he looked to burrow over the line but a shove from his captain Harry Wilson gets the job done.

    Carter Gordon converts for good measure.

    Ireland look far more comfortable in defence but it's an interesting call from Australia to go for the scrum.

  20. Postpublished at 51 mins

    Australia 24-26 Ireland

    Australia opt for the scrum.

    That's a big call given they are only five metres out and their line out has been functioning well.

    Andy Farrell immediately changes his props as Tom O'Toole and Tadhg Furlong make way for Jeremy Loughman and Thomas Clarkson.

    Nick TImoney and Tadhg Beirne are also on for Cian Prendergast and Josh van der Flier.
