Barry McCarthy to Tadiwanashe Marumani, OUT! CAUGHT! Barry McCarthy draws first blood and Tadiwanashe Marumani departs early. Lands it on a length, on off. Tadiwanashe Marumani tries to drive it on up but fails to get any timing and ends up hitting it uppishly and straight to Andy Balbirnie at extra cover. He takes an easy catch and this is just the start Ireland needed. Craig Ervine walks out to the middle now.
