US had been warning they were gonna be as physical as possible all week. Hope ref is paying attention. No more injuries for our boys pls.

@Ageing Prop. Manoa has been hitting hard all year in the Premiership for the Saints. Did you see that hit on an unexpecting O'Mahony?

The Spanish (!) ref will start issuing cards soon. Penalty count already massive.

Some of the US hits are massive. And offside / late!

Good job Peter

USA have clearly done their homework, he are causing havoc at the breakdown. Boss can't get clean ball and Ireland are going backwards.

Seamus, thanks for the updates, means a lot.

Just a blood reversal for Doyle, it didn't look to bad, he should be back soon.

USA have the put into the second scrum of the match following a knock on at a lineout. But Ireland are looking dominant and win another penalty at the scrum which Madigan converts into 3 points.

The men in green start strong with a powerful scrum, earning a penalty. Madigan finds touch 25m from the USA line.
