51′ – IRL 12-13 SAM: Lovely — and vital — Irish score. It’s Conor Murray who gets it, and it was Conor Murray who started it. The scrum-half goes spins blind off a maul and sets Jacob Stockdale away. The Ulster wing, channeling his inner 2018, chips beautifully down the left wing and it’s Murray who dives on the ball as it crosses the try line! That’s better. Crowley’s conversion from wide left skews off his boot and drifts wide, so Samoa retain a lead.
In comes the lineout and IT’S A HUGE STEAL BY JAMES RYAN!
I forgot to mention, as well, that Ross Byrne came on for Jimmy O’Brien — not Jack Crowley. The Munster out-half is gone to fullback.

A complete breakaway score by the Samoans, as Stuart McCloskey’s pass in a two-man Irish overlap hits the onrushing Duncan Paia’aua in the face, and the fullback is able to pounce on the loose ball and take it to the house from 80 yards. 1 hour ago 8:07PM 20′ – IRL 7-0 SAM: Sloppy period of penalties and forward passes, most of them perpetrated by Ireland. Stagnant enough period of possession for Samoa in their own half. Not a great deal to write home about aside from the try so far.
