Summary

Time Score  
5 3 - 0

O'Gara with the simple nine-iron and it's advantage Ireland

9 8 - 0

O'Gara dinks a lovely little chip through and it's McFadden who slides in for the score - fantastic play from the Munster fly-half

10 10 - 0

O'Gara - conversion

12 15 - 0

Good hands from Earls unleashes O'Brien who crashes over the tryline - very very easy

13 17 - 0

Simple conversion for O'Gara near the posts

37 24 - 0

Isaac Boss from the bottom of the ruck grounds the ball against the post - good work from the scrum-half

38 29 - 0

Dubious forward pass en route to the tryline - but the try is given and Ireland have their bonus point

39 31 - 0

O'Gara - conversion

40 36 - 0

Relentless from Ireland - Andrew Trimble goes across the line after Russia are clearly offside in the build-up - but that is their fifth try and Ireland are going to run away with this if the Bears aren't careful

47 41 - 0

Earls darts through a gap with a neat sidestep and he crosses over the whitewash

48 43 - 0

O'Gara adds the extras with ease

49 43 - 5

That's the try of the match - Vasily Artemyev sidesteps and dances his way through four or five Irish tackles and dives across the line - the Saints winger has pulled out an absolute gem there

51 43 - 7

Konstantin Rachkov slots the extras with the aid of the post

58 43 - 12

Simplikevich takes advantage of great play from Russia and manages to get the ball down despite the attention of Murphy - great score from Russia

64 48 - 12

Much better execution from Ireland -one misspass and Kearney runs into the corner

65 50 - 12

O'Gara nails a fantastic conversion from the touchline

72 57 - 12

Shane Jennings gets on the scoresheet crashing over from close range

78 62 - 12

Tony Buckley has slammed his way over for Ireland's ninth try - great play from the Sale man
