    This game just gets even better for us. 2 trys from 2 fantastic Irish players in the space of a few minutes.

    SA though have really gone to the pits.

    That is the aim to get most out of a pass.

    Wasn't about the pass - was about the grounding

    Exhibition stuff. SA have completely given up, but that was a great try. Again.

    Stockdale rounds off his 1st Teir 1 game with a try. Amazing day & result for him.

    Sweetnam made that try with his work on the ground. Very assured.

    And Joey can kick!

    Beautiful from Carbury to Sweetnam, who did fantastically well to hold that up - fantastic try!

    All well and good hammering SA but we need to be able to do it against the big sides.

    Super performance really. Totally in control of the game.

    Really happy to see Stander back on form. Hadn't quite hit the ground running this season up until today.

    Have we ever had such a winning margin over S.A.?

    So many nice moments during that game

    Delighted to see SOB play the full 80, and seemed full of energy right up to the end. Stander had a better performance than I have seen from him for a while - great to see.

    Stockdale, Conway were really good. Half backs are just as good as anyone else.

    Forwards were just brilliant. Proper team performance everyone doing the job. Bench made serious impact.

    Last try the icing. Sweetnam did really well. Two SA lads didnt want to know.

    There is no post match interviews now on RTE2 as they are going to the football.

    What is Sky Sports like? Have they finished for the night from the Aviva?

    RTE mentioned it was a record win.

    Not try conceded, only three points in total - Farrell will be delighted with that performance.

    Ireland looking intelligent in defense - competing in the rucks when there is a high percentage of a turnover, and generally getting them. Nice to see some clinical play in the last 10 minutes in running up the score against a weary South African team.
