Ireland have secured the bonus-point against Samoa but a red card for Bundee Aki has dampened the mood in Fukuoka.
It was all going so well for Joe Schmidt's side but with Aki being sent from the field of play after 28 minutes things are looking less certain.
Check out some of the reactions to the game from the tweets below.
I know I'm biaised, but I don't agree with that red at all, yellow probably appropriate. #IREvSAM

That is a red too.
Deserved.
Text book red according to the protocol.

3 - @tadhgfurlong now has 3 tries in his last 5 Test matches, having scored just 1 in his first 38 matches (inc. @lionsofficial). Power.

Can understand that yellow. They are both so low down there, but it's into the face.
Reckon we're going to see Nic Berry get a knock-out game. He's having an excellent #RWC2019.
