Ireland finish the half well, with McFadden at the heart of a big breakout attack from the kick-off. It looks for a second like Ireland might go all the way, but the attack ends with Adam Ashley-Cooper bridging over a ball for a penalty just inside the Aussie half and the Australians kick for touch.

BUT there is major concern for Jonathan Sexton, who has been spotted pulling up, possibly with a leg or hamstring injury, and looks distraught.
