  1. Australia 24-12 Ireland

    There's a lovely kick through from Garry Ringrose to put pressure on the Australia throw five metres from their own line.

    Ireland are trying but it's just not clicking at the minute. They're in a bit of bother now.

    Converted Try - Australia 24-12 Ireland

    Ryan Lonergan (con Gordon)

    BONUS POINT AUSTRALIA!

    It's a gift for the Wallabies!

    Sam Prendergast throws a pass into the arms of Max Jorgensen, who races down the field.

    Stuart McCloskey does his best to bring him down, but he finds Ryan Lonergan who is able to race over for the fourth try, and Gordon converts.

  4. Australia 17-12 Ireland

    Darren Cave
    Former Ireland centre on BBC Radio Ulster

    Ireland just don't have the answers at the minute with their defence.

    That Joe Schmidt Wallabies' attack is seriously good.

  5. try

    Converted Try - Australia 17-12 Ireland

    Josh Canham (con Gordon)

    The pressure pays off as Josh Canham crashes over!

    It was Rob Valentini who made the initial break that set that attack up, and second row Canham finishes the move off.

    Carter Gordon lands his first conversion of the game.

  6. Australia 10-12 Ireland

    Hugo Keenan with a try-saving tackle to deny Ryan Lonergan in front of the posts!

    Australia cut Ireland open and are all over the Irish line!

  7. Australia 10-12 Ireland

    Matt Gault
    BBC Sport NI

    This is closer to the Lions series Australia than the dismal outfit that toured Europe in November and lost by 27 points in Dublin.

    They look quick and incisive with ball in hand and have been impressive at the breakdown.

    Ireland are in a real fight.

  8. Australia 10-12 Ireland

    Carter Gordon and Sam Prendergast must be taking inspiration from Australia's penalty shootout defeat by Egypt last night.

    Neither of them can hit the target.

    That's three out of four conversions missed so far.

  9. Australia 10-12 Ireland

    Darren Cave
    Former Ireland centre on BBC Radio Ulster

    That was a lovely piece of skill from Ireland! Really innovative.

    You'd swear on your life Dan Sheehan was about to lunge for the line but he just flicks the ball with the fingers and Josh Van der Flier punches through the wall and gets the ball down.

    Great score. I didn't see it coming.

  10. try

    Try - Australia 10-12 Ireland

    Josh van der Flier

    Dan Sheehan taps and pops it off to Josh van der Flier, who crashes over.

    It's as simple as it comes, but it's effective.

    Sam Prendergast misses the conversion and there's two between the sides.

  11. Australia 10-7 Ireland

    Ireland win the penalty after one of a number of Irish infringements - take your pick.

    Dan Sheehan is going to tap and go.

  12. Australia 10-7 Ireland

    Ireland win the throw but the maul doesn't really form, so the forwards are now chipping away at the line.

  13. Australia 10-7 Ireland

    Ireland win a penalty after working their way into the Australian half.

    Sam Prendergast sticks the ball into the corner.

  14. Australia 10-7 Ireland

    Darren Cave
    Former Ireland centre on BBC Radio Ulster

    Australia look so, so comfortable in possession. There's some beautiful handling from the Wallabies.

    They're not allowing Ireland to get set and organised. Ireland look like they cannot cope at all.

  15. Australia 10-7 Ireland

    It's Jock Campbell's first Australia appearance since 2022 and he's got a try and an assist in the opening 15 minutes.

    He's been lively.

  16. try

    Try - Australia 10-7 Ireland

    Jock Campbell

    It's superb from Jock Campbell! He finishes it off by sprinting over in the corner.

    Ireland are caught narrow in the middle of the park and the full-back shows a clean pair of heels to race by Sam Prendergast and Hugo Keenan to touch down.

    Gordon's conversion attempt is off target again.

  17. Australia 5-7 Ireland

    Carter Gordon makes a great break to bring Australia into the Irish half.

    They've won a penalty advantage for good measure.

    The Wallabies are looking good with ball in hand.

  18. Australia 5-7 Ireland

    Darren Cave
    Former Ireland centre on BBC Radio Ulster

    The referee had a good, old look at that. It was very simple stuff from the five metre lineout.

    When the ball slowed up, Cian Prendergast made a really strong carry and he fought to get through. He's not a huge man but he got his body height down and he spun and wriggled and got the ball down. Great stuff.

  19. Get Involved

    Australia 5-7 Ireland

    I think we are the best team and can see us winning by 25 points. C’mon Ireland!

    Steven, Galway

    It's a bold prediction Steven, I'll give you that.

  20. Australia 5-7 Ireland

    Darren Cave
    Former Ireland centre on BBC Radio Ulster

    Stuart McCloskey is such a big, physical player and makes an absolute menace of himself at the breakdown.

    Ireland look very composed through the hands. They have their first real attacking opportunity here.
