Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage from Ireland's clash with South Africa at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin

Ireland lose the ball into touch and that will be that. South Africa were there for the taking today and Ireland will be annoyed that they let that slip in the second half, after having been fairly comfortably in control in the first half

The clock has ticked over past the 80 minute mark with Ireland further back inside their own half than they were when they started the move ... they are still in possession though

There will be one last chance for Ireland, with 90 seconds left on the clock, as they win a penalty in the scrum on the half way line ...

Heaslip tries to break from his own half for Ireland, before finding Zebo. But Zebo loses the ball forward in a very strong tackle from Taute. Ireland are just back inside their own half again

Much better from Ireland at the scrum as then South Africans collapse and they go for the kick upfield and territory as they look for the try that they will probably need to win this match

PENALTY SOUTH AFRICA! 12-16! Mike Ross is penalised at the scrum once again, for pulling it down, and Lambie this time makes no mistake as he sends the ball as high as it can go but, importantly, in between the posts to extend the Boks lead

Lambie's kick is a shockingly poor one as he misses another penalty kick at goal, leaving the ball short despite being a fair way into Irish territory

South Africa get a chance to clear from inside their own half, albeit only just inside their own half, when Ireland pull down the scrum

Substitute Eion Reddan is just about ready to take the ball from the back of the ruck and push further for the line but the ball was lost forward and South Africa will have their chance to clear the line again in the middle third

Sexton's penalty kick at goal falls just short of the crossbar as Ireland narrowly fail to take advantage of the chance to regain the lead. It's going to be a tense final 20 minutes though

South Africa are looking increasingly strong now as they inch their way forward again from the line-out. But Ireland turn it over through Murray before Tommy Bowe clears

PENALTY SOUTH AFRICA! 12-13! Ireland have lost the lead as South Africa continue to build on their performance since the interval and the rocket that was no doubt put under them at that point. Lambie adds another three points after O'Mahoney is penalised for not rolling away

Danger moments again for Ireland as South Africa push their way up to the five metre line ... but the ball goes loose and Ireland have a chance to run it free. But Andrew Trimble thumbs the ball upfield to clear the lines instead

CONVERSION! 12-10! Pat Lambie lands just his second kick of the day, he's been pretty poor so far today, and it leaves the Boks just two points adrift of Ireland

TRY SOUTH AFRICA! 12-8! With Ireland a man down, South Africa push for the line again with Ireland again being penalised for bringing the maul down. The Boks get over the line but have been held up, they are still playing advantage though and will come back for the advantage. And this time Pienaar crosses over to touch down

South Africa push for the line as Ireland give away three penalties, Jamie Heaslip being the las of the infringers - and it is he who is sent to the bin for 10 minutes. Ireland were a little lucky not to give away the penalty try there

South Africa have a five metre line out after Ireland are penalised for not rolling away after the tackle. South Africa look to push for the line ...

Patrick Lambie gets the second half underway at the Aviva ...

Ireland 12-3 South Africa

Pienaar's kick is pretty accurate distance wide but it drops below the crossbar well before reaching the uprights and Ireland escape with the last kick of the half
