Match Commentary

86'And now we have South Africa vs Japan - live!
85'Tristan's full-time analysis: "The scoreline will show a thumping victory for Ireland, but in truth Canada deserve a 10 out of 10 for effort. The Canucks came out steaming for the second half, clearly fired up by whatever coach Kieran Crowley had to say at half-time. They lasted 26 minutes without conceding and honestly looked the hungrier side until Sean Cronin broke their hearts with a shunt between the posts. Irish experience and fitness no doubt told in the final 10 minutes when the men in green ramped up the scoring, but they will head back to their hotel knowing they were in a proper Test match today. This was no gimme - Canada made them work for it. "
