56 mins. Ireland are attacking on the Samoa five metre line with a penalty advantage in the bank. They inch forward through the pack like a Roman tortoise formation, but Samoa to their credit are holding their line with great spirit and no little skill and organisation.

53 mins. Penalty to Ireland after a Ioane neck roll and it’s another attacking lineout.
Murray is off and Luke McGrath is in at scrum-half.
