Filthy from South Africa but the officials are picking it up.

12- 10

Sexton putting on an exhibition of kicking here for only his 2nd cap, nerves of steel. We're lucky though that Steyn is having a nightmare with his kicking.

9 - 10 officials helping us out a bit. Another good kick from Jonny.

Officials are winning this game for Ireland.

Wouldnt say that at all. South Africa are being indisciplined and the referee is righty clamping down on them.

Sexton has been solid as a rock so far, kicking from hand and the ground has been immaculate. He is the man in possession now and O'Gara is going to have a hell of a battle to take the jersey of him now but it may be a case of horses for courses come the 6N between the two men. Not his biggest fan but O'Leary has been good as well so far today.

O'Driscoll was immense there to get that penalty. The forwards are taking it on a little too much when we are within 5 metres of their try line in my opinion.

Poor kick - he is human after all!!

Still 12-10.

Great passage of play especially from the forwards, crowd right behind them.

Jonny is human.

A rare miss there.

SA rattled big time.

15 - 10

Great recovery by Sexton after his 1st miss, 5 point lead.

Schkite · November 28, 2009, 04:09:21 PM

SA kickers continue to have a nightmare game.

muppet · November 28, 2009, 04:12:19 PM

South Africa are filthy bastards.

High tackle there no doubt about it. Bowe has developed into a fantastic international winger.

orangeman · November 28, 2009, 04:12:36 PM

High tackle missed by Mr. Owens.

Schkite · November 28, 2009, 04:14:09 PM

Thats two yellow cards SA should have got now.

Donnellys Hollow · November 28, 2009, 04:15:28 PM

How in the name of god did he miss the offside, never mind the high tackle? Owens is usually one of the better whistlers but he is having a bit of a mare today.

Kearney is immense under the high ball. My MOTM so far.

muppet · November 28, 2009, 04:16:09 PM

Kearney has been immense. Hard to understand why South Africa keep kicking to him.
