    Emerging Ireland captain Alex Kendellen, speaking to Super Sport: "It was a good game. We've talked about building connections on and off the pitch. We showed glimpses of that today and it's good to get the win.

    "We really enjoyed it. There's always going to be work ons. We came together last week and we showed some good things out there. We'll review it and get back to it next week.

    Penalty try

    Phiko Sobahle is sent to the bin for a pretty obvious knock on as Ireland looked to finish this one off.

    It was three on one, and the wing's arm just flicked out to stop Ireland crossing with ease.

    Easy decision. The penalty try is awarded and the replacement will spend the rest of this one in the bin.

  7. try

    Try - Pumas 19-29 Emerging Ireland

    Eduan Swart

    The Pumas make the pressure count!

    Eduan Swart drives over the line from close range to move the Pumas closer to Ireland!

    Clinton Swart pulls his conversion wide, and the gap is at 10 points with five minutes left.

  8. Pumas 14-29 Emerging Ireland

    The Pumas are camped in the Irish 22 with seven minutes left.

    There are sine huge tackles coming in!

    Lundi Msenge looks to finish in the corner but he's held up!

  9. Pumas 14-29 Emerging Ireland

    The Pumas win a penalty on the 10 metre line.

    They need to score, and quickly, if they are to snatch this one away from the Irish.

  10. pumas 14-29 Emerging Ireland

    We're into the final 10 minutes and Ireland are still leading.

    Can they see this one out?

  11. Pumas 14-29 Emerging Ireland

    Not that anyone asked, but here's the proof, if you needed any.

  12. Pumas 14-29 Emerging Ireland

    Zac Ward will get plenty of plaudits for his performance, but Ben O'Connor has been superb at full back.

    Apparently he was a pretty handy hurling player for Cork before he settled on rugby. A man of many talents.

  13. try

    Try - Pumas 14-29 Emerging Ireland

    Gus McCarthy

    As easy as you like!

    Gus McCarthy rounds off the rolling maul. Ireland had the penalty advantage for good measure, and it was never in doubt as Leinster hooker McCarthy flopped over the line.

    Jack Murphy's conversion is just wide.

  14. Pumas 14-24 Emerging Ireland

    Zac Ward looks so good with ball in hand. Constantly beating players and making the hard yards.

    His latest venture forward earns Ireland a penalty.

    Jack Murphy sticks it into the corner.

  15. try

    Try - Pumas 14-24 Emerging Ireland

    Tino Swanepoel (con Swart)

    Tino Swanepoel puts on the afterburners to get past Zac Ward and Ben O'Connor to touch down.

    That was one of those tries where you knew he was going to score about 10 seconds before he did. A great finish.

    Swart converts for the South Africans. Game on with 25 minutes to play.

  16. Pumas 7-24 Emerging Ireland

    Ireland win the ball at the breakdown once again but it squirms into touch.

    Jack Murphy, son of Ulster head coach Richie, is on for Prendergast, who has had a very tidy afternoon.

  17. Pumas 7-24 Emerging Ireland

    Fistanti is at it again! This time he charges through the middle and makes 20 metres, but the ball is stripped by Sam Prendergast and Ireland win the penalty.

    That's been the story of the afternoon for the Pumas.

  18. No try

    Pumas 7-24 Emerging Ireland

    Ntsika Fisanti powers over in the corner as Sean O'Brien bundles him into touch.

    The big back row got the ball down but it was on the whitewash, and Ireland can clear from the 22.

    So close to a fantastic finish, and a great tackle to match by O'Brien.

  19. Pumas 7-24 Emerging Ireland

    The Pumas have an advantage and fling it wide, and Prendergast is so close to the intercept.

    Play is brought back and Swart sticks it in the corner.

  20. Pumas 7-24 Emerging Ireland

    The Pumas win a penalty deep in the Irish 22 and they opt for the scrum.
