Prenny just got his little pop pass intercepted for an Aussie score, it's 24-12 Aus. Welcome back to test rugby, Prenny. The more things change...

Some excellent rugby by the Aussies so far.

Ireland having to commit plenty of players to the breakdowns due to the poaching threat by the Aussies. Sua now with a counter ruck and JGP knocks the ball to temporarily tank an attacking position for Ireland.

JGP scores off a suspiciously forward looking offload to get it to 24-19 at the break. Most crucial moment of the game so far - Keenan running down Sua for a try saving tackle (Keenan also put a try saver on Lonergan earlier), would have put the score out to 31 for Aussies. The Aussies don't have much pace anywhere, Jorgenson was also caught easily from behind by McClusky earlier in the game.

Just watched the JGP try replay again - absolutely, without a doubt a forward offload. Forward out of the hands all the way. The TMOs just remain an absolute farce. They'll pull a try back for a technicality 10 phases earlier, but will let a clearly forward final offload stand without a whimper.
