Who has Andy Farrell relied on most in this World Cup cycle? Ireland have used 60 players across the last 22 Tests post-RWC23. Read here:

Ireland's scrum far from the only issue in Springboks defeat:

Farrell praises his players for "showing bottle for their country" when they were down to 12 players. "To win a second half 6-5 under those circumstances, even if it doesn't tell the full story, it's amazing that it occurred."

Andy Farrell: "I haven't seen a game like that ever. "My overriding thought is that I'm unbelievably proud."

Springboks' scrum shreds Ireland as Farrell's men hit with five cards:

This is a sheer and total scrum massacre from the Boks on Ireland. Utter dominance. Another yellow card, Paddy McCarthy binned this time.

Pieter-Steph du Toit is ridiculously good at rugby. All aspects of the game.

Cian Prendergast misses the restart but comes up with the tryline turnover. Ireland clinging in there.

Paddy McCarthy with a big jackal turnover, followed swiftly by Baird and Doris earning a choke turnover on the Irish line.

RG Snyman on for his 50th Boks cap. Ireland restored to 15 men as Porter returns.

Crowley back on now for Ireland. They're up to 14 players.

Prendergast back on. Ireland back to 13.

Mack Hansen restarts the game as both of Ireland's out-halves are still in the bin.

19-7 not the worst return for Ireland given how that unfolded but clearly going to take something very special if they're to win tonight. They'll be frustrated that Feinberg-Mngomezulu wasn't carded and was shout for yellow for slapping ball out of JGP hands before Sheehan try.

22m entry stats from RugbyPass.

Sheer set-piece domination from the Springboks in that first half. Ends with a scrum penalty try. Three yellow cards and a 20-minute red for Ireland in the opening 40. The first half took an hour to complete.

WTF is this game.

Porter sin binned. Ireland back down to 12 men.

Porter warned he will be binned if he infringes in this scrum...
