Sean Jansen was excellent today.
I think if you're making your first start, you do all the things you want to do.
He's so dynamic and then you put him in the back row with Nick Timoney and the two of them actually complimented each other so, so well.
Twelve carries, 14 tackles, scored a try and player of the match. He'll be really pleased with that as a debut.
FT: Japan 20-36 Ireland
Next up for Ireland *gulps* it's the All Blacks next Saturday at 08:10 BST. Set your alarms.
Japan welcome France to Tokyo, which should be a good watch.
Stay tuned for more reaction from Newcastle as Ireland made it two wins from two.
FT: Japan 20-36 Ireland
Good to watch a well fought game, Ireland were lucky at times slowing the Japanese ball down. That said good to see Eddie doing his thing at Japan

That's exactly what Ireland would have wanted getting that last score!
Tom Stewart ran a lovely line from death and fought to get through to under the sticks.
It wasn't pretty at times but job done for Ireland.

The cohesion for Ireland just hasn't been there. There is a lot of value in this game but when you make that many changes in the game there will be always an knock on to the performance. You don't make excuses but you add context.

Robbie Henshaw has had a great game.
Outstanding debut from Sean Jansen too. Great impact from Bundee Aki off the bench.
Image source, Getty ImagesFive tries, five points.
It wasn't pretty, but Ireland make it two wins from two in the Nations Championship.
Tom Stewart (con Byrne)
Ireland finish with a flourish!
The men in green had all the momentum and Tom Stewart races onto a pass from Nathan Doak to race over and finish things off.
Harry Byrne adds the conversion.
Japan 20-29 Ireland
A great game to test out new talent, remembering it a critical game against New Zealand next week. Lots said about a lack if talent coming through, this shows promise

Outstanding clearing penalty from Japan.
There'll be a little frustration from Ireland that they couldn't get that score albeit being a less experienced squad.
Japan 20-29 Ireland
Ireland were pressing and pressing but Japan win a penalty.
They'll have a line out on halfway, but time is running out for them.
Two to go in Newcastle.
Japan 20-29 Ireland
Japan are going to finish the game with 14 men as Hayate Era is sent to the bin after multiple infringements.
End of an Era for the Japan hooker (well, for tonight anyway).
Japan 20-29 Ireland
Tom Stewart's throw is good and Japan bring down the maul illegally.
Ireland have Japan right where they have them with three minutes to go.

It hasn't been a perfect performance from Ireland but it would be great to see them finish with a score or two in the last six minutes.
Japan 20-29 Ireland
Ireland win another penalty as Japan's discipline starts to slip.
Byrne brings Ireland five metres out.
Japan 20-29 Ireland
Make that five to go.
Takuro Matsunage races back to deal with Jamie Osborne's neat little kick through.
Japan 20-29 Ireland
Irish wingers pretty quiet again today and Frawley making a few mistakes. Zac Ward has been on fire for Ulster. Maybe Harry Byrne should have started as Frawley not a world class 10.
Dare, London
Japan 20-29 Ireland
Japan do really well to turn the ball over and Ireland just can't finish them off.
We're into the final six minutes now.

Nathan Doak has snuck on to the pitch, which is exciting.
Japan 20-29 Ireland
Japan give another penalty away and Harry Byrne sticks it into the corner.
