Brilliant try
All over here and Ireland are deserved 6 point winners on a scoreline of 23-17. With New Zealand fancied by many to coast through the pool stage, this game was seen as a bit of a shoot-out for who could secure the second qualifying spot.
Briggs misses with a penalty chance but with only 30 seconds left it's unlikely to prove costly.
Ireland now inside the 22 of America. A score would finish the contest but they will be happy to even just see the game out here.
Into the last five minutes. No sign of a try coming for either side, both defences on top. America will need to make something happen soon.
As we head towards the last 10 minutes there's still only a converted try separating the two sides. Neither side really dominating the proceedings of late, hard to know how it's going to finish.
Penalty for Ireland, once again Briggs has no problems and the score is 23-17.
Brendan, the match is being shown on tg4.
Lightnenig start to the second half for USA. Walsh who did 10 in the bin at the end of the first, crashes over under the posts within the first minute! Roizer converts and back to a 3 point game already. 20-17
